## Description

The "Nano" model series has been designed for the use in reef biotopes up to 200 liters (52 gal.) and is gentle to the plankton in operation. The DOC Skimmer 9002 removes up to 80 percent of organic waste matter, such as protein and cellulose, from the aquarium water. Very little space is required in the aquarium, and its handling is very easy. On account of their construction, these models are particularly quiet during operation. On account of the high demands in stony coral aquariums, this skimmer should be used only in aquariums with about 100 liters (26 gal.) of water. Mixed aquariums or soft coral aquariums up to 200 liters (52 gal.) can be set up without any problems.PrincipleBy means of the water jet of the Nano pump and a high-performance jet, a fine pearly air mixture is produced with is released into an easy-to-clean skimmer cup through a newly developed reflection system. The protein-containing aquarium water diffuses into the skimmer through the opening in the bottom and on the rear, which is gentle to the plankton, thus suitable in particular for breeding tanks with living plankton.Specifications: Recommended for aquariums from 40 to 200 liters (10 to 52 gal) of salt water Dimensions: 4.9" L x 2.1" W x 13.3" H Immersion depth: approximately 7" to 8.6" Skimmer cup volume: 0.3 l (0.79 gal) Air capacity: 150 l/h (39.6 gal/h) Power consumption: 10WNOTE: Products are sold in 110V conversions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this skimmer fit in my Red Sea max D130 cube and will it reduce my problem with mini-bubbles in my tank  which I believe are from my skimmer? ThX**
A: Im not sure if it will fit in a red sea max but they are nice and skinny thats why I have one but as far as the micro bubbles its one of the best of the mini skimmers at preventing them

**Q: Will this skimmer fit all the way inside the back chamber of a biocube 29?  I don't want to remove the lid or alter it in any way.**
A: The base fits but I'm not sure the circle skimmer does. I've been using the InTank set and that fits though it catches occasionally it I close the biocube lid too fast. I've had my biocube for about a year. Email me at Jason.Winston@nuance if you want to chat about it more. Great little tank.

    Total waste of money
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014*

Words cannot describe the disdain I feel towards this product.  It is a total waste of money and not deserving of the praise I have seen in other reviews of this product.  The construction is so bad and quality control in the production is non-existent based on my experience.  I have gone through two of these units.  The first one I had, the bottom panel was so deformed and you could tell that the part was not molded correctly.  The fact that no one noticed it and replaced it during manufacturing is inexcusable.  I got a replacement but because of other issues with the tank, I switched to a different unit.  I got the parts I needed so I could use this since the other unit wasn't really doing the job.  When I went to install this unit, every time I tried putting it in, the top cover would come off at the slightest tough.  After several attempts to install it, each time with the cover coming off, I gave up.  I looked at the cover and found that the tabs on that part were also deformed.  The only place this unit belongs is in the trash can, which is where it has ended.  It has been several months since I purchased it so it's too late to return.

    Unreliable and difficult to work with.
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2014*

Stopped working randomly after a year.  Had trouble after 10 months when I came home and found that the entire thing snapped off of the magnet that was holding it in place.  That horrible magnet that was impossible to work with in the first place.  So I had to jimmy rig something to hold it in place another way.Then it just stopped working after a year.  Discovered coral dying and noticed that it was silent.  Haven't been able to get it working since.Perhaps I just got a dud or something weird happened.  It fit in my 29g biocube, the kind with the closed lid.  I had to get a different cup but it worked fine for awhile.

    It fits in my tank and works (after a bunch of futzing)
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2014*

My first reaction when I received this is that it was a POS. The bottom and top clip on pieces and were loose. It took a bunch of monkeying around with the internals, the tubing and the pump to fit the pieces together. When I put it in the tank to top piece would pop off. After multiple tries I finally got it assembled and placed in my Biocube 29 HQI (after having to mod the tank with a saw).Starting it up was a challenge. It needs a fairly consistent water level and it took awhile to sort out what was the right amount of air. And then it took a day or so before it actually starting producing any skim output.Now that it's running it produces much more than the skimmer that came with the Biocube. It seems to be working consistently. I will keep it, but it I'm not 100% sure that my initial impression was far off the mark.[Update 6/28/14]I've been using the skimmer for about 3 weeks now. After installing the youtube mod, it has been much easier to maintain and is more productive. I also moded my tank so that it looks better with the skimmer installed. I'm feeling better about the skimmer, but that's a lot of work for something that's sold as turnkey.I still have mixed feelings about the skimmer. But it is working, it is skimming and it fits my tank.[Update 7/30/2014]My corals are doing visibly much better in the last month or so. The grow on my Duncan has been amazing (it's doubled the number of heads in a really short time). The only major change was adding this skimmer. So, I have to say this was a good purchase. It is definitely much better than the skimmer that was included with my tank. It appears to have made a significant difference in my coral growth.
