8. oduction 1822 aquarium protem skimmer removes the proteins and other organic wastes from the aquarium before they have a chance to break down into more harmful elements such as ammonia and nitrite Removing these wastes also helps prevent algae build up as does the reduction in phosphates Protein skimmers are also helpful in removing any toxins released from corals or invertebrates in the aquarium As a result of these effects the water quality is therefore improved and less frequent water changes are necessary Protein skimmers have an added advantage in increasing the amount of oxygen in the water Many saltwater aquariums could benefit greatly from having a skimmer B Operating Principle A protein skimmer works by creating tiny bubbles in a collection chamber Organic waste materials adhere to these bubbles through a chemical process called adsorption The bubbles propel the waste materials up to the surface of the collection chamber where dissolved protein and other contaminants are physically removed from the water column and contained in the collection cup By generating millions of air bubbles protein skimmers also replenish oxygen levels in the entire aquarium Elevated oxygen levels and proper gas exchange help maintain a stable pH by counteracting the pH lowering effects of carbon dioxide that can occur at night Benefits of Protein Skimming Remove organic wastes and toxins Decrease algae build up Lower phosphates Reduce w
