The TUNZE® Comline® opens the way for compact aquarium components for internal operation, ultra functional, sophisticated, with clearly defined lines.

The Comline® is a multi-functional product line: Surface and substrate zone intake, high flow propeller pump filter, flash protein skimming, the system creates a natural environment in the aquarium with a compact footprint. The goal, more performance from less space. Comline® components meet these requirements and the visual harmony of the aquarium is maintained. It is no longer necessary to hide technical equipment in the aquarium; instead, it forms an integral part of it. The system is highly effective; all organic pollutants are removed from the environment directly, while the path the water has to cover is short and direct. The risk of leakage is almost zero. The highly efficient technology enables reduction of the volume of the internal equipment, as well as significantly reducing the energy consumption.

Comline® Nanofilter 3161

The Comline® Nanofilter 3161 is a very compact and quiet internal filter which offers the Comline® design with two chambers, a surface suction device and floor-level suction for nano fresh water and marine aquariums from 30 liters (7 USgal.) to 100 liters (26 USgal.). It is also a single-purpose surface filter, especially for the surface film removal in large aquariums up to 1,000 liters (264 USgal.). In such aquariums which are often not equipped with a drain, the Comline® Nanofilter 3161 is able to ensure the highly efficient surface cleaning with only a small footprint. It contains an adjustable Comline® energy-saving pump 900, which can be adjusted to a low power output for small aquariums, and an increased power output for large aquariums. A Silence Magnet Holder for a glass thickness of up to 10 mm (3/8") is integrated into the support of the Comline® Nanofilter 3161, the filter is spaced from the glass with silicone buffers and doesn't emit any vibrations to the aquarium. The glass thickness can be expanded up to 15 mm (2/3") for larger aquariums (accessory).

The pre-chamber of the filter which handles approx. 15% of the total water throughput has enough space for a nano heater or organic material in nano aquariums, but also for pH or temperature probes in larger aquariums. The main chamber is designed to be used

with filter wool or any type of filter media, contains a filter sponge and is easily removable. The Comline® Nanofilter 3161 is ready for installation and includes the filter media.

The rotating surface suction device, allows the filter to be placed in every corner of the aquarium. Two parts can be attached.

Attachment with a patented Magnet Holder for a glass thickness of up to 10 mm (3/8").

Pre-chamber for nano heater, probes or organic material.

Floor-level suction (15% of the pump performance) for a collection of the particles in the water column.

Adjustable Comline® energy-saving pump with a variable performance between 250 and 850 l/h (66 to 225 US gal./h).

Power consumption 2.5 - 4.5 W.
