Protein skimmers are extremely essential for maintaining fish water clean and wholesome. They remove the undesired material from water so fish have a pleasant environment to swim.
If fish tanks had superheroes, then protein skimmers would be wearing capes. They take great efforts to eliminate all the bad stuff that can cause illness to your fish. These bad things are known as organic waste (think: old food, fish poop, etc.) and can accumulate in the water.
Incorporating a protein skimmer into your aquarium keeps your fish well and happy. When organic matter accumulates in the water, it can form a slimy film on top that cuts off the light and oxygen. This makes it difficult for your fish to breathe, and even sick. Protein skimmers help remove this waste so that water remains clean and clear for your fish to swim in.
Protein skimmers create a ton of microbubbles throughout the water. It attaches to the organic waste and carries it up to the surface in the form of bubbles. When the waste comes up from the bottom, it becomes foamy and it gets collected in a cup. You can then easily pull this foam right out of the cup and take all of the bad stuff out of your aquarium.
The best protein skimmer for your aquarium should depend on the size of your tank and the type of fish you own. There are various types of protein skimmers available such as hang on skimmers, in-sump skimmers, or external skimmers. Now you have to select one that is appropriate for your tank and compatible with the fish.
The frequency at which you must clean it depends on how much bio-load your aquarium generates; it must be maintained so that it continues to operate effectively. This means disassembling the skimmer and washing each part with water. Make sure to regularly check the pump and air intake, as well, to ensure that they are functioning properly. If something seems off with the skimmer, such as it not frothing or making odd sounds, follow the troubleshooting guide in the handbook and clean or replace components.
