I would get the same answer with aqua bee also
What i mean is, I am not bound to any pump manufacturer so i can look at all pumps with an open mind just as a hobbyist would.
I do not see low sales for other skimmers using these pumps but I do see low uptake of manufacturers using aqua bee.
as with everything new we do, before it goes to market we allow canreefers to field trial them also. We are dedicating this to the Canadian market so your insight is paramount, however we also have to be aware of cost that you all wish to pay and also availability of pumps that fall within everyones now very low price point expectations. if everyone and I mean the majority are willing to pay above $500 for a 150 gallon capable skimmer we would have lots more choice, but in the past 2 years you have all voted you want that size skimmer for less than $300 sometimes less than $250
Economy of products and what you all are now willing to pay dictates what features we can and can not use.
We wanted to go with Askoll for the leopard as it was designed for but the price point would have put it in territory of more marketed names, it would have been a too tough sell, and then no, we would not of made any money. Thats not saying however the buyer can not add the Askoll later if they so choose.
