    interesting that Don is the owner. My husband has been self employed for the past 40 years and the one thing you learn is how to talk to people.

    protein skimmer & water changes

    protein skimmer is a home made job, we bought the whole system used. The protein skimmer is very hard to adjust it so that it runs dryer but works great. We recently added the ro/di filter and the water is very clean now except for the red slime which we cannot get rid of. As far as the salt...

    protein skimmer & water changes

    hi, we have a protein skimmer and are getting about a quart to a quart and a half of dirty water coming out daily. We have ro/di water coming direct to the tank in to replace this water and any needed water. Do we have to still do water changes? Thanks for your help.
