What is protein skimmer and function:
A protein skimmer is a mechanical device that removes dissolved organic compounds and particles from the water by se
parating foam which is created by the mixing of air and salt water.
The dissolved organic compounds and particles make up the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, color, turbidity, odor, B.O.D, phosphate, taste, etc in the aquarium water. Protein skimming will remove the following pollutants from the water that are not normally removed by other forms of filtration: food particles, feces, dissolved organic material, free floating algae, silica, amino acids, phosphate, hydrocarbons, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, carbonates bicarbonates, dyes, enzymes, detergents, iodine, some of metal ions, protozoa, and bacteria.
It lowers pollutant concentrations before they break down into ammonia.
Be aware, protein foam skimming also removes valuable trace elements and nutrients.
However, protein foam skimming is one of the most important and useful methods to maintain a healthy environment for fish, invertebrates and coral.
The skimmer should be switched off for several hours after you do any of the following to your tank:
1. Add trace elements.
2. Add medication.
3. Feed any suspended invertebrate food.
Operation:
Select the place where skimmer is put; In-sump or hang-on to the tank.
Put the skimmer to the place your choose
Make sure the skimmer is securely installed before operating it.
Plug in power cord of pump into the grounded receptacle. If power cord had been damaged or malfunctioned, discard the pump.
Do not attempt to repair pump
After initial operation, check the water leakage from the skimmer body and tubing. If you find out any water leakage, stop the operation of skimmer and repair it or return to the manufacturer
If the condition of skimmer is perfect operate skimmer continuously.
Adjust the water level in the column of skimmer up to water level line. Water level can be controlled by adjusting outlet valve
