Tunze Doc 9010 or 9020

[hugabone]

I'm looking for a compact quiet skimmer and narrowed it down to a Tunze. My tank is only 105g but I might upgrade in the near future. I'm thinking of just going all out and get the 9020. Does anyone have any comments on that?

Get a 9010 now for your 105g, If you upgrade to a bigger tank, you can get another 9010 and the foam extraction kit and make yourself a 9020.

Or you can just get the 9020 now and save some money since 2 foam extractors cost like $100. I have a 9020 on my 100G and it does a hell of a job and when I finally get my 300G cube it will work on that also. In any case, the price never goes down on
Tunze--only goes up.

Tunze has recently improved the 9010 with an 8mm air valve and a snap-off top cover. The air draw has grown from 650lph to 700lph. Do inquire if the same improvements were made to the 9020.

And the price sure as hell went up, the 9020 was $640 yesterday morning but went up to $686 in the afternoon.
