Last month we showed you the new CPR bak pak type protein skimmer named the AeroForce. It was being displayed at IMAC west in a prototype version. After nearly a decade of minor and incremental upgrades to the workhorse BakPak with small design changes and a myriad of different feed pumps over the years, the Aeroforce is the first true next-generation BakPak featuring a dedicated feed pump and the AeroForce aspirating water pump as an internal water and air mixing pump. We are seen for the first time the skimmer showing itself off on video and the creamy froth of bubbles is a very pleasant sight.  Back then we said that the AeroForce would be released in the next 3 months which would call for a Oct-Nov release. We are already into September and the first major retailer Marine Depot has it listed on their site at a $199 price tag.
