 Re: Skimmers?
Wet dry filters use aerobic bacteria to convert ammonia and nitrite ( fish waste and toxic) to nitrate which is less toxic to fish. A protein skimmer removes organic wastes and chemicals from the water before they can be broken down to nitrate. Sumps are a water resevoir usually under the tank where you divert water from the main tank for biological and chemical filtration. You can add your heater, protein skimmer, biological filter and refuge ( A refuge is an area where you grow macro algae which naturally exports nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates which the algae uses as a food source). The water is then pumped back into your main tank. _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam
