HaNs Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Do they need skimmers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 No. Protein skimmers don't work very well in a brackish tank because of the low salinity, the water does not froth as well. Having said that, I saw recently an advertisement for a skimmer someone had designed that he claims works in fresh water. When I had a brackish tank nutrient control was quite an issue. No doubt there are standardised methods but I changed to a full salt system before I really had brackish sussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 No tank NEEDS a skimmer, any can be done without one. But, I bet a good skimmer might work in a brackish, if it does it might be worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
