Hey reefers, innovation in these last years has been our core mission and we've first introduced a strong reliable AC motor for the stream pumps (Mover) and then we worked for almost 3 years to control it as it was a DC motor but with all the advantages of the AC, especially the stable and precise flow.
We've been striving to bring to aquariums some of the most advanced features like the voice commands or the finger tap system to create waves in the tank (see Rossmont inTouch app for Android / iOS) and at the time of developing a skimmer we really wanted to do again something very unique.
So the question was: how many times a day I wish I can put my hands on my skimmer to make it work according to what I'm doing in the tank with dosing pumps, etc.? Do I have to skim dry or wet?
How can I finely adjust my skimmer? Shall I turn off my skimmer when dosing something particular?
Definitely we started thinking we wanted to give aquarists not just answers, but results. We designed a needlewheel impeller rotor for our return pumps (Riser) and applied to the controller (Waver) then started the development of a protein skimmer (Skimer).
Results actually came immediately. On every test, straight after break in period (while pump needs to run at 100%), as we were able to drive the skimming pump (Riser SX), we've rarely phisically adjusted the skimmer. We were able to do the fine tuning simply using the Rossmont inTouch app and we started using combinations of wet and dry skimming, even during the same day!
We then introduced also a couple presets in the app to sync it with dosing pumps. We started turning down Skimer while dosing amino acids and tank efficiency improved all of a sudden.
Imagine, you can do whatever you want with your skimming pump and do it automatically and scheduled. What would you do?
We actually opened a door as these new combinations were not possible earlier and finally we say: we want aquarists all over the world to have a fresh experience, great results and new emotions.
Rossmont will give birth to Skimer in April this year.
