I am working on a product development team and we are trying to redesign and improve current protein skimmers for the high end market.

What do you consider to be the biggest problems with current skimmers? (e.g. noise, power consumption, effectiveness)

What features are most important to you when buying protein skimmers?

compact size, noise and effectiveness.

Let me know/see what you guys come up with.

noise for me is big, effectiveness, and cant forget PRICE, and user friendly

PRICE, of course i like my coralife super skimmers since they fit the bill of price,perofrmanace, quiet, and ease of use just fine, i would like to see something more than teh 3 they and which are rated for 65 gallons 125 gallons and 220 gallons.

Is your development team local? or a national association/manufacturer?
Please keep us informed of the developments and reportings!

We are working for a small company that sells products nationally. Thank you for all you comments, We will consider all of them when working on the project.
