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:
- 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.- Improved Water Clarity
The removal of dissolved organic compounds increases light penetration producing a brighter and clearer aquarium.- 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.- 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.
