Tunze Comline Reefpack 505 Question.

[KingNeptunesBou]

I'm interested in purchasing the Tunze Comline Reefpack 505 for my aquarium because it has different equipment that I want to use integrated into one system. However, I don't want to have to put money aside for two months to purchase the system. If I decide to purchase each piece individually starting with the Protein Skimmer. Can I purchase the Tunze Comline Filter 3166 with the integrated Tunze Osmolator 3155 combined in the same unit separately? Or do I have to purchase the unit as a whole to get this particular benefit of the Tunze Osmolator 3155 being hidden inside the Tunze Comlin Filter 3166? Thank you for your assistance in advance.

A 505 is essentially a 9011, 3166, 3155 and a 1605. The only thing you will lose out on buying it this way is you essentially get a pack of 5 0800.010 cartridges, the 5002.250 reservoir and the 1605 pump for free when it is all purchased as the 505, you will pay roughly $120 extra buying all these pieces separately. Additionally the 9011 and 3166 are glued together to make one unit in the 505 and they will be completely separate when bought separate but they do nestle side by side and there is no real difference. The 3155 fits into any 3166, the mounts are standard on the 3166.
