Exactly what is a protine skimmer and what does it do? Do i need one for my 18 gal with live rock and fish?
A protein skimmer or foam fractionator, Skims Protein…
Its a device used to remove organic compounds from the water before they break down into nitrogenous waste. Protein skimming is the only form of aquarium filtration that physically removes organic compounds before they begin to decompose, lightening the load on the biological filter and improving the water's redox potential.
