General information about protein skimmers

A skimmer works by pushing air bubbles through water containing waste materials which are attracted to the air water interface and flow upwards to the surface where they can be collected. Larger volumes of air and smaller bubbles allow more surface area to attract the proteins and therefore make the skimmer more efficient.

Deltec have designed a unique system to do just this with their highly efficient skimmers that remove the majority of waste before it breaks down thus requiring less biological filtration. This results in a lower level of nitrate that is much easier to cope with by the reduction of bacteria in the system.
