Very interesting. Have they released what size(s) (ie., size of tank rating or whatever) will be supported?

looks and sounds a lot like my Schuran...

It completely comes apart piece by piece for servicing and cleaning...

Also runs on the aquabee 2000/1.

Very similar looking too, also Schuran is german made so that may be the reason for the similarities.

Does this skimmer use the turboflotor technology?
A double chamber to increase water/air hang time?

Hi

No its not a Schuran Their skimmers maybe white and have some removable parts but thats about as close a comparison there is really.

FAUNA SKIMMER



Closest looking Schuran

HI

What you see is a prototype for the european market
the color will be changed a little bit and the noise reduction system will be
changed also in the next days
for the NA market we developed at the moment a new pump and
wheel system.

Schuran Skimmers are a very old technology and it makes no sense for us to use this kind of system , cause our system brings a lot of more air and waterflow then the Shuran system compared to the same size.
Iám wondering that you say they look similar ?

Though they do look similar, both using the aquabee for example...
I was more referencing the idea that fauna marin was the first to offer a skimmer that comes completely apart for servicing/cleaning.
I've been enjoying that convenient feature in my Jetskim 120 for years.


Can't wait to see this tested to compare.
Maybe in order to help differentiate you can offer some insight into just what sets this skimmer apart from others?

Aside from the fact that it's new how is it unlike some of the more tried tested and true skimmers out there?
I was confused maybe by the review that states its a "back to basics" skimmer?
