Protein Skimmer

A protein skimmer is VERY important in a saltwater tank. It removes dissolved organic material from the water. It does this by making countless tiny bubbles inside a chamber. Dissolved junk hitches a ride on these bubbles and gets collected in a cup. After a while, the cup gets full of smelly dark gunk that is thrown away. I got the AquaC Remora in order to replace the useless piece of junk I used to have. This skimmer is great! I recommend it if you have a tank that is less than 75 gallons.
