Air driven protein skimmers are making a come back, or at least we want them to because there’s hardly an easier or simpler way to mix air and water for the sake of cleaning marine aquarium water. The AeroForce AP air driven hang on protein skimmer is a great example of great design and craftsmanship bringing this tried and true protein skimming method to the 21st century. If presented with the choice between a $180 Aeroforce dual pump recirculating or the AP AeroForce for the same price, we would opt for the air driven model for ease of use, lower noise, the sheer quantity and quality of the air bubbles and more reliable foam production as long as the wooden airstones stay fresh.
