is it posible to over filter with a protien skimmer or any other filter
skimmer will remove trace elements that the tank needs
The skimmer does indeed remove trace elements and a study was conducted with measurable results. See here...biotoxin said:First of all, the amount of trace elements that "could" be removed is very small. Also there is no conclusive evidence that trace elements are even caputured during skimming. Water changes remove more trace elements than a skimmer. ARG but here i am making the argument again when i said i wouldnt.
Correct. Trace elemnts are replenished via what is contained in the saltmix. Nutrient is exported when doing a water change.possum said:hehe not to argue or anything LOL but when you change water you put the trace elements back right?
