Tunze DOC Skimmer 9410.005 Protein Skimmer
- Pump with magnetic bearings – for absolutely quiet operation, minimises friction and prevents humming noises, as with conventional bearings. The result: quiet, smooth operation – day and night, even in noise-sensitive living environments.
- Completely axle-free – for uncompromising reliability. Thanks to the magnetic bearings, a central wear point is eliminated. This ensures robust, long-lasting, and trouble-free operation.
- Adjust once – remains stable long-term. The water level in the skimmer is regulated via a unique, hydraulically tuned levelling system – without manual valves and without moving parts for reliable, low-maintenance operation.
- Proven technology – ahead of its time. Both the pump and the skimmer design have been continuously developed and specifically modernized to meet today's high requirements..
- Connected – but not dependent. Fully integrated into the digital TUNZE® HUB ecosystem, even completely offline via the buttons on the controller.

Magnetic bearings – for absolutely quiet operation
The pump is mounted on magnetic bearings. This minimises vibration, friction, and noise and prevents humming noises that can occur with conventional bearings.
The result: quiet, smooth operation – day and night, even in noise-sensitive living environments.
Completely axle-free – for uncompromising reliability
The pump completely dispenses with traditional drive solutions: no ceramic axle, no metal axle. Thanks to magnetic bearings, a central wear point is eliminated. Furthermore, there are no metal parts in the entire water contact area. This ensures robust, long-lasting, and trouble-free operation.
Proven and long-standing technology – ahead of its time
The DOC Skimmer is based on a product concept that has been tried and tested over many years and has proven itself reliable in practice – in both private and professional systems. Both the pump and the skimmer design have been continuously developed and specifically modernised to meet today's high standards. Experience and innovation – perfectly combined.
Made in Germany – developed and manufactured in Penzberg
Developed and manufactured in Penzberg, Bavaria – with extensive experience, our own assembly line, and short distances between development, construction and production. As one of the few manufacturers worldwide, we have our own production facilities – a decisive advantage when it comes to quality, control, and perfect coordination. Made in Germany – not just as a label, but as a true level of vertical integration.
Easy to clean – well thought-out installation
The pump is firmly fitted on the outside of the housing, allowing the entire skimmer and pump to be removed with a single manipulation. Despite its external location, the pump remains compactly integrated and accessible without tools. No loose tubes, no vibrating attachments – just a robust, enclosed system.
Connected – but not dependent
The DOC Skimmer is fully integrated into the digital TUNZE® HUB ecosystem: cloud control, daily profiles, food timer – everything is possible. At the same time, the skimmer can also be operated completely offline – directly by the buttons on the controller. Smart operation – but never mandatory.
Ozone connection as standard – for maximum water purity
The pump nozzle is ozone-resistant and has a dedicated connection for ozone generators. Ozone can be added directly via the air intake – without additional modules or modifications. A true pro feature, integrated and ready for immediate use.
Performance data that fit – even in tight spaces
Despite its high performance, the DOC Skimmer remains compact and easy to install. Efficiency, performance and flexibility – combined in a small space.
5-year warranty – for long-term operational safety
A protein skimmer performs a vital function in an aquarium – ensuring stable water parameters and protecting sensitive organisms. The DOC Skimmer is designed to operate reliably for many years – with robust technology, a maintenance-friendly design, and consistently durable components. We back this with a 5-year warranty – an expression of our confidence in the product and its importance to your system.
