Protein Skimmers help keep your fish, coral and invertebrates healthy by actively removing harmful organic compounds from your aquatic environment.

Use a protein skimmer to promote:
  1. Healthier Livestock
    As dissolved organic compounds decompose they release harmful and sometimes deadly chemicals into their environment. By removing these dissolved organic compounds before they can decompose, a protein skimmer helps keep the tank environment more stable and decrease stress on all tank inhabitants.
  2. Improved Water Clarity
    The removal of dissolved organic compounds increases light penetration producing a brighter and clearer aquarium.
  3. Algae Control
    Inhibits algae growth by removing dissolved organic compounds such as amino acids and phosphates which are a common food source for algae. A protein skimmer also increases levels of oxygen, which in turn, reduces levels of carbon dioxide which can also contribute to algae growth.
  4. Increased Oxygen Levels
    The addition of air to the water column increases oxygen levels creating a healthier environment for fish, coral and invertebrates. Increased oxygen levels and proper gas exchange also help maintain a stable pH by counteracting the pH-lowering effects of carbon dioxide.
