Function of protein skimmer:
Protein skimmer are applied to most saltwater aquarium to remove certain organic compounds,
including proteins and amino acids, by using the polarity of the protein itself, from the water to stop
most of them decomposing into nitrogenous waste. Because of the intrinsic charge, water-borne
proteins are attracted to the air-water interface. Protein skimmers works by infecting numerous tiny
bubbles into the water chamber, which present an enormous air-water interface for the protein
molecules to cling to. The more tiny bubbles reside in the chamber, the more proteins it absorbs.
Protein skimming is the only way of physical filtration that gets rid of the organic compounds
before its decomposition, lightening the load on the biological filter and improving the water’s
redox potential.
