saltwater to freshwater
Hello, I have a 30 [acronym:27a76aff7c="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:27a76aff7c]. saltwater aquarium that I've been thinking in converting to freshwater. Is this ok? The filter is a skilter with protein skimmer in it, is it ok to use it too? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Oooo! Another one comes over to the dark side *grin*
Not sure if the skilter will be an appropriate filter for [acronym:e40470871e="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:e40470871e]. Forget the skimmer; won't work. The size ratio to tank for [acronym:e40470871e="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:e40470871e] skimmers is so ridiculous its not worth it anyway. I'm not clear how well the skilter will work in terms of mechanical/biological filtration. Maybe someone else with some experience with it can chime it.
