Aquarium Protein Skimmers

A protein skimmer is not absolutely necessary to keep a saltwater aquarium, but we still recommend it in most cases. They'll remove as much as 40% of dissolved organics, which can mean 40% fewer water changes. They also oxygenate the water very well, produce better water clarity, and uniquely remove waste before it has a chance to turn into the toxic nitrate and phosphate that most aquarists struggle to keep under control. We carry all the best protein skimmers from Reef Octopus, Simplicity, Tunze, Maxspect, & IceCap.
