The Aquaforest Skimmer Clan

[leslie hempel]

I was very privileged to attend interzoo 2018 and visit the Aquaforest Head quarters in Krakow Poland.

Their facility is mind blowing but what is very seldom seen is their hardware.

I looked at every skimmer I could find at interzoo but while I was impressed I enjoy a slightly more reserved approach with skimmer design and when I saw this skimmer it ticked all the boxes!

Rated for 5000lph, 2 x Aquabee 8000 dc pumps and just a beautiful functional modest design!

when i saw it I fell in love immediatley!

here is a download off the net to show the skimmer looks

I also took a pic of it for size

deffinatley formidable skimmers when comparing the top brands

I hear the AF skimmers are making their way to our shores, the newer versions have a very distinct purple acrylic and add some bling to the skimmer as a hole.
Really great skimmers !

I think there are 4 sizes but the 3 smaller ones are being imported.

160, 200 and 250
Im not sure if the controllable dc versions are being brought in (refferring to the " + " series - with controller) perhaps @Quality Marines SA can offer some insight.

Im very happy with my skimmer i have to actually overfeed in order to keep nutrient levels up which is how i prefer it.

These skimmers ar worth every cent!
