EPS-300 PROTEIN SKIMMER[Mar. 11, 2008 6:02:30]
Protein skimmers use air bubbles to create foam, which adsorbs and entraps
waste products and surface active compounds that make foam production possible.
Ammonia, feces and carbon dioxide aren't the only waste products in a recirculating
fish system. You'll find complex organic substances from decomposing feed,
urea, fish slime and metabolic by-products. Also, don't ignore the algae,
phenols and bacteria that irritate your fish's gills, affect growth rates and increase
disease susceptibility. Together these dissolved and suspended materials make up
the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), color,odor, taste and turbidity that a protein
skimmer (foam fractionator) can remove.
