THE PERFECT NANO SKIMMER!!

Using the Tunze Flash Skimming Principle, the Comline DOC Skimmer pulls water through an efficient surface suction.

The Tunze Comline DOC 9001 skimmer utilizes Tunze’s “Flash Skimming” principle. The skimmer is quiet and generates a very large volume of small bubbles for efficient skimmer operation. It operates stand-alone without needing any additional equipment (feed pumps, etc) and mounts to the tank via a convenient magnet holder strong enough for glass up to 3/8″ thick.

The TUNZE® Foamer generates large volumes of fine air bubbles with a diameter between .0039 to .011 in. (0.1 to 0.3 mm). On the surface of the air bubbles, pollutants such as protein, cellulose, dead cells, etc. are adsorbed immediately. The water/air mixture expands and stabilizes in the skimmer cup reactor, the water returns to the aquarium, and the protein-loaded air bubbles spill over into the skimmer cup. The patented anti-overfoaming system intermediate chamber prevents the skimmer from over foaming and controls the skimmer performance, depending on the water level and organic load. This “flash skimming” principle, compared to large skimmers with long contact time, is obtained because the substances adsorbed by the air bubbles are not released again, thus they don‘t return to the aquarium water.

WHY DOES MARINESCAPE RECOMMEND THIS?

Tunze Controllable pumps have been around for years and year with a great reputation.  Tunze now includes a controller with all their controllable powerheads which greatly increases their value. The Turbelle pumps are very quiet, and for everything you get the price is hard to beat.

Wide-flow DC pump from German-made Tunze powerheads - one of the best high flow powerheads available.The design of the 6095 helps the propeller pull in more water and push out more water extremely efficiently. The wide-flow produces a much less directed flow pattern (2-3 Ft around) and reaches over 3 Ft at a slightly slower flow than the Tunze Turbelle 6055. Great for tanks 3 Ft or less in length.

Tunze pumps are excellent high flow powerheads for a number of reasons

They are the smallest pumps available and easy to hide.

They rotate to a wide range of angles for targeted flow.

They consume less power.

Available accessories such as the Tunze Rock and Controllers make them even more user-friendly.

Excellent warranty and customer service.

High flow is very important to maintaining a thriving healthy aquarium. Aquariums with poor flow can experience a number of easily avoidable health issue. Using high flow powerheads in your aquarium will:

*Significantly decrease the risk of algae outbreaks.

*Keep waste and particles suspended longer so skimmers and filters have a better chance of removing them.

*Prevent toxic pockets from forming in hard to reach areas.

*Keep debris from collecting on corals.

*Keep food suspended longer so you can add less food.

*Increase the chances of long term healthy tank success.

AQUA ILLUMINATION NERO 3 WAVE MAKER

MARINESCAPES hands down favorite wavemaker. Simply doesn’t get better than this

The app is just so easy to connect and use, the amount of control is limitless

They are dead silent, the wire is super skinny and not noticeable

The nero 5 has been out for a while now and we have yet to do a single warranty on these units.

Compact size but still crazy powerful and up to 2000 gallons per hour

We recommend for up to 50 gallons, larger go with the nero 5

Different Flow Patterns and Modes 

The nero 3 easily connects with the app to any smart device so you can wirelessly control the pump

You can set different times for different types of flow

CONSTANT SPEED

A constant stream of water flow at your desired strength with no change

PULSE

Pulses mode from you desired high and low setting

RANDOM

The random mode helps to mimic random high flow reef environments. You can set the min and max strength as well as the amount of variance

Easiest wireless pump to control

Out of all the pumps on the market we have tried, none have been easier to connect, use and control than the nero pump through my AIapp

If you already have the AI prime, hydra 32 or hydra 64, these pumps are run through the same easy to use app.

AQUA ILLUMINATION NERO 5 PUMP

Compact yet powerful wave making pump by Aqua Illumination. Despite it’s small size, the AI Nero 5 can generate up to 3000 gph of flow in your tank. Its unique design allows you to direct that flow to any directions in your tank.

There are many powerheads on the market today and, luckily, among the major manufacturers there really are no bad choices.  One option that strikes a great balance between features, reliability and cost is the Nero line of powerheads by Aqua Illumination.  AI offers two Nero models, the Nero 3 and the Nero 5.

The Nero 5 model is the larger of the two and is capable of providing up to 3000 gph of flow at its maximum setting.  It has an incredibly small footprint in the tank, measuring only 2” deep, while still providing powerful water movement.  Also included is a fish guard that will prevent curious fish or invertebrates from being sucked into the wavemaker.

Both Nero models connect seamlessly in minutes to the myAI app via bluetooth.  The app allows for almost endless customization options including Constant Mode, Pulse Mode, Random Mode and Feed Mode.  Different modes can be combined into a 24 hour schedule with infinite possible combinations.  Multiple Nero 5 powerheads can be combined together to run in a single program or controlled separately.   For users who prefer to use a control module, the Nero 5 includes a single button controller with an LED indicator to indicate modes and speeds.

The Nero 5 is easily mounted anywhere in the tank and is held in place with a powerful external magnet.  The head swivels to allow flow to be directed where it is needed in the tank.  Due to its large diameter, the Nero 5 directs flow in a more diffuse pattern than many other powerheads, increasing the overall water movement in the tank.  Aqua Illumination offers a wide range of replacement parts to help keep the Nero 5 running problem-free for many years.  They also offer industry leading customer support and warranty services.  For hobbyists looking for an affordable, compact and reliable full featured powerhead the AI Nero 5 makes a great choice.

THE IDEAL SUBMERISIBLE PUMP FOR LARGER AQUARIUMS– ALL FLOW, NO COMPROMISE.

Smart, Powerful, & Compact

Like the Nero 3 & 5, the Nero 7 utilizes an innovative propeller design which creates an adjustable broad flow that is both strong and gentle. The Nero 7 pushes water in a wide pattern that can move foods, detritus, or other free-floating particles around without blasting corals directly. Powerheads have many different uses around a reef tank, but the main goal is to produce enough flow to keep low-flow spots from forming in your tank and help elevate detritus to be sucked into the filtration.  Controllable via Bluetooth, simply open the MyAI or Mobius app, choose a mode, and control the flow in your aquarium. Different flow modes let you choose what is right for your tank inhabitants. Create a full-blown daily schedule that cycles through different modes and settings or let the Nero 7 randomize itself with the Random mode.  No smart device? No Problem! The included controller only has one button but is very powerful. Pressing or holding the button for different lengths of time can change the speed, mode, or turn the pump off or on without having to open the app.

FLOW MODES:

RANDOM– The Nero 7 will randomly change its flow rate throughout the day simulating a high-energy reef environment.

PULSE – Used to create a standing wave in your aquarium. The pulse interval and max flow rate can be changed based on the needs of your aquarium. Pulse is a great method for lifting settled detritus from hard-to-reach areas. 

CONSTANT – Set the appropriate flow rate and the Nero 7 will keep flowing at that speed until you change the mode or flow. 

SCHEDULE – Using the MyAI or Mobius app, create a schedule that can utilize multiple different flow modes.

FEED – Just hold the driver button for 2-5 seconds to put the Nero 7 into feed mode for 10 minutes. 

ALL-OFF– Hold the driver button for 6 or more seconds to turn the pump off. Touching the button again will restart the pump. 

MAGNETIC MOUNTING:

The included magnetic mounting system makes installing the Nero 7 effortless. Giving around 15° of movement, you can direct the flow where your tank needs it most. The two-part mounting system incorporates an inner magnet and an outer magnet that can couple together through 0.79″ of glass or less, and the pump then sits into the beveled inner magnet for an isolated and quiet mounting system. Included Fish Guard-The fish guard offers more safety to slow-swimming and curious inhabitants.
