Aquarium Sys Seaclone Protein Skimmer 100 Gallon

SeaClear's Protein Skimmer for saltwater environments improves water quality, increases oxygen content and removes unwanted waste products that accumulate and pollute the aquarium water. The Protein Skimmer is housed internally in a chamber next to the pre-filter chamber. Must be attached to an air pump (not included) to function properly.

Protein skimmers create foam by mixing saltwater and air together. Protein skimming works through adsorption, which is the firm attachment of an extremely thin layer of molecules to the surface of air bubbles. Protein and other organic compounds in the water form a coating around the bubbles as they rise to the top of the foam riser tube of your skimmer. The foam cascades over the top of this tube, filling the collection cup. The captured foam is emptied from the collection cup before it can re-enter the aquarium. Proteins and other organics are removed before they can turn into nitrogen compounds or other toxins that may be harmful to your aquarium inhabitants.Protein skimming helps you maintain a healthy environment for your fish and invertebrates.
