The DOC 9415 and 9430 are Tunze’s latest protein skimmer that bring with them a suite of new features for improved efficiency and reduced noise. The Tunze DOC 9415 and DOC 9430 both use a Hydrofoamer Silence pump, based on the quiet and efficientTunze Silencewater pump; the DOC 9415 uses a 15 watt Hydrofoamer Silence that draws 850 lph of air and the DOC 9430 uses a 24 watt Hydrofoamer Silence which draws 1100 lph of air.
Both of Tunze’s new DOC Skimmers have a modest footprint and a filter sock for a bubble trap with an integrated silencer for the Hydrofoamer’s air intake which also moistens the incoming air, reducing the amount of salt creep that can build up in the aspirator valve.
Like other new Tunze DOC skimmers, the DOC 9415 and DOC 9430 are automatically adjusted skimmers. This means that as long as they are placed in sumps with an appropriate water level, and it is unsure what that height is, both the new DOC 9415 and 9430 are the most plug and play skimmers possible.
目前，美国的可用性和定价尚不清楚，但是Tunze产品在上一对产品周期中在水族馆市场上已经变得越来越实惠和竞争，我们希望从Tunze Doc 9415和Doc 9430中获得不少于我们的PALS。Acuaristicahave dug up some tentative European pricing of 493€ ($653.69)for the DOC 9415 and 573€ ($758.67) for the DOC 9430 but we expect American pricing to come in a little under the exact exchange rate.
