    Skimz Leopard’s Integrated Inverted Cone (IIC) channel bubbles to the outer side of the chamber to achieve optimal skimming performance. This significantly reduces surface agitation, thus creating superb foaming within the skimmer and results in increased skimming efficiency. Together with the use of the bubble plate design, turbulence within the chamber is significantly reduced, allowing maximum air flow capacity in a compact skimmer.
    All Skimz Leopard protein skimmers are fitted with the new LS skimmer pumps made by Askoll, producing extremely fine bubbles for unsurpassed skimming performance.

    Up to 100% of bubbles channelled to outer side. Leopard’s Integrated Inverted Cone has distinct design advantages – the bubbles in the reaction chamber are forced to move outer side 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.

    The new Skimz LS skimmer pump is made by Askoll. This LS skimmer pump is extremely quiet and pulling twice the air. The intake of the pump is adjustable for different needs. The knurled knob delivers a smooth operation when fine tuning of air and water intake.

    Which skimmer model is pictured? Any idea what Askoll pump the SL300 is using. The pump pictured is an askoll 1500 and no one has been able to exceed 2500 l/hr with it. That would be fine on the SL200 and SL250. To my knowledge the Askoll 2000 motor is not capable of 4200 l/hr either.

    Hi everyone,

    We have not received any pricing structure on the Leopard skimmers. We wanted to share this to everyone because we believe that Skimz is committed in providing innovative straight forward design to improve performance and value throughout their product lines. Here's a picture of what the pump looks like now... (does it look familiar?)
