Someone already makes them...Blimey English
This company makes freshwater protein skimmers...no salt!:

Upon further reading I have found FW protein skimmers seems to be most viable in densely populated situations (coy ponds, fry raising, and comercial fish farming) or in a freshwater environment containing high amounts of disolved organic materials. I am in the first stages of setting up a 29 gal planted FW tank with a comunity of schooling fish all yet to be determined, and I wonder if I will experience elevated levels of organic compounds? --high enough justify running a fw protein skimmer? I certainly won't overstock just to see to the ends of running a FW protein skimmer.
