SKiMZ new KONE skimmers

Singapore: "Skimz KONE’s conical-shape has distinct design advantages – the bubbles in the reaction chamber are forced to move vertically upward, resulting in natural foam formation to minimize bubble bursting. This natural foam formation of the bubbles reduces surface agitation, thus creating a gentle foaming within the skimmer and results in increased skimming efficiency. Together with the use of the bubble plate design, turbulence within the reaction chamber is significantly reduced, allowing maximum air flow capacity in a compact skimmer.

SKIMZ’s latest design allows cleaned water to exit the protein skimmer chamber at its base where it is almost bubble-free. Precise adjustment of the water level within the skimmer body can now be easily achieved using the new Micro-adjustable Valve."

New SKiMZ Monzter II: exclusive video, actual picture.

 Skimz Monzter skimmer series incorporate a highly-efficient recirculating design to maximise the air-water contact time within the reaction chamber. This recirculating design results in aquarium water being filtered multiple times over within the skimmer, allowing highly effective filtration. Aquarium water is supplied into the skimmer via a separate feed pump or can be gravity fed. All Skimz Monzter skimmers are fitted with original AquaBee needlewheel pumps, producing extremely fine bubbles for unsurpassed skimming performance.

Every Monzter range of product is hand-crafted with the highest quality materials and precision CNC machined.

• High-precision CNC machined parts
  
• New advanced AquaBee needlewheel technology
  
• Low energy consumption
  
• Very low noise level
  
• Twist-lock neck for easy cup removal
• Top quality +GF+ pipe fitting
• Plug-and-Play design, requiring little tuning

SKiMZ  has tweak and upgraded their original  Skimz monzter (SM-200)  to  Skimz Monster II (SM2-200).  And the result??  

BLACK....                PURE BLACK  MIRE - MUCK - GUNK.  whatever you call it.

 An efficient machine  that is soon available to hobbyist come Interzoo 2010.   Emulating todays conical skimmers,  SKiMZ decided to combine the classic cylindrical body  to a tapering conical  neck.   Not tha
