As we prepare ourselves for the biennial voyage to Singapore for the Aquarama conference, we can’t help but reflect on one of Singapore’s key players in the marine aquarium manufacturing market,Skimz。每年，无论是在奇怪的几年内通往Aquarama还是在几年内互换，Skimz总是在作品中有一些新的东西，对Biopellet反应堆的疯狂旋转，蛋白质脱脂器或其成分。
Skimzhas been relatively quiet leading up to this year’s big conference, and that can only mean one of two things. Perhaps they are keeping a really nice and juicy product to surprise us with, or they’ve run out of new geometric shapes to apply to the things we use in our aquariums.
尽管Skimz在欧洲和美国的市场渗透率很少，但它们的产品在这些市场之外的全球范围很广。无论哪种方式，我们的好奇心都使我们反思了Skimz几乎每年推出的创新产品，以及Skimz试图区分其产品线的创造性方式。
Skimz蒙兹特E and Kone series
It seems like just yesterday we were breaking the news of theSkimz Monzter蛋白脱脂机，和Kone型号此后不久。2010年是一个截然不同的时期，人们仍然对锥蛋白撇油器非常持怀疑态度，而业余爱好者无休止地争论着锥形设计是否真正重要。
Whether or not cones or cylinders won the battle, it’s safe to say that the majority of smaller protein skimmer designs have gone full Cone but Skimz still hedged its bets with great skimmer models in both configuration. The Monzter protein skimmers were really unique at the time for being one of the first Asian-manufactured protein skimmer to offer a bevy of features, high quality design and materials, as well as reliable needle wheel pumps to power it all.
SkimzLeopard Inverted cone diffuser
Skimz豹非常嘲笑前鳍al reveal at Aquarama 2013. The Leopard was virtually identical to the top of the line Skimz Monzter protein skimmers, but it featured a highly reworked diffuser plate which borrowed a couple ideas and added its own flair.
气泡板扩散器最初是由Royal Exclusiv推出的十多年。然后在2009年，华纳海洋发行了他们的K1蛋白撇渣器which featured a channel directly centered in the bubble plate to allow water to flow counter current to the upflow of air bubbles.
Skimz的一系列灵感中，采用了这两个想法，并用倒置的锥体将它们改进，以进一步减少上升气泡的湍流，并通过扩散板传播更多的水。所得的高级气泡板扩散器在豹子蛋白脱脂机中达到顶峰，这确实具有一些最少动荡的运动我们曾经在任何蛋白质脱脂机中看到过，我们感到惊讶的是，更多的制造商并未受到这种方法的“启发”。
SkimzOval Protein Skimmer
Skimz最近的蛋白质撇渣器发行版涉及一些“开箱即用”的想法，以及有趣的设计。这椭圆形蛋白脱脂器by Skimz is the world’s first foam fractionator to feature an oval cylinder or cone of any kind. While the oval shape of the Skimz Oval didn’t do anything to really help the protein skimming, the combination of the smaller footprint together with the open volute DC pump assembly makes the Oval one of the most powerful, space-saving protein skimmer designs on the market.
