FW skimmer/denitrator use - Aquarium Advice

Just curious to know if anyone here uses or has used a skimmer or denitrator on a FW setup?

Totally useless.

They won't work.

I agree....probably not enough stuff to skim and no need to remove it anyway.

FW doesn't foam like SW does.

And there is no real reason for denitrator unless you are having a serious problem or maybe housing discus w/o plants

You can use a denitrator, but you can keep nitrate down just as easily with water changes.
