Did You Know? |
 |
Did you know that a protein skimmer can help you
maintain water quality? Unlike a mechanical filter, a
skimmer removes proteins and other contaminants
from the water column before they have a chance to
break down into more harmful elements such as
ammonia and nitrite. Protein skimmers are designed
to fit directly in your sump or to hang on the back of
your aquarium so it is easy to choose the best type
and size skimmer for your system. Don't forget that a
new protein skimmer requires a break-in period of
about 1-2 weeks before it reaches optimum
performance. During this time you will need to make
adjustments to optimize the air-water mix. Changes
in performance are caused by the water level of your
sump or aquarium, feeding, use of supplements,
salinity, and the bio-load. Regular cleaning of
collection cup, intakes, air tubes and inside shaft is
also required to help keep your skimmer running
properly. Do you have a protein skimmer and is it
running properly?
