Protein skimmers are a really nifty invention to keep your fishy friends healthy and happy in their underwater paradise! We are going to get to the nitty-gritty of the protein skimmers and how they work their magic in your tank.
Consider protein skimmers as being essentially tiny water filters for your tank. They work to clear away yucky stuff, such as dirt, oil and waste, from the water in order to help keep it clean and safe for your fish. The reason they’re able to do this is quite cool – they produce loads of tiny bubbles that catch everything nasty and then float it forward on the surface of the water. It’s that bubble bath for your fish tank, except instead of bubbles, it’s cleaning up the gunk!
It's like having a superhero to thwart any bad guys waiting to sneak up on your fish and make them sick, bad guys in the form of brainless bacteria, algae and other disease causing organisms. This is what a protein skimmer does, it removes all the yucky stuff from the water and keeps it clean and clear, so your fish have a healthier place to swim around and play.
When it comes to selecting a protein skimmer for your aquarium, you’ll want to ensure you get the proper size for your tank. You’re not looking for a skimpy skimmer that can’t keep up with the mess, or a skimmer so large it eats up your precious space. Look for a protein skimmer that’s a breeze to install and sits nicely in your aquarium – your fish will appreciate the care!
There are a great many advantages for you and your fish to using a protein skimmer in your marine aquarium. Not only does it maintain clean water and promote healthy fish, it also improves your water quality by reducing your tank’s maintenance. And a protein skimmer can keep those foul smells and unsightly algae at bay and give you a more pleasant all-around aquarium to look at.
Sometimes, the top superhero also needs a little help to function. Is your protein skimmer misbehaving? Here are some common problems and how to solve them:
— If your skimmer is making a weird noise, verify that all the parts are in securely and that dirt or a foreign object isn’t causing the issue.
