I'm still pretty new to dealing with protein skimmer, but i was looking at the CPR Bak-pak models and had a few questions for anyone out there who has one.
My main question is does anyone have any experience with using other materials in the secondary part of the skimmer besides their creepy looking shredded blue stuff? I ask because i'm thinking about either swapping it out with a little bit of live rock rubble or tossing a baggy of carbon or phosphate absorber in there (what ever the case may call for). Would this work or would it cut down on the water flow so much that the unit would overflow? Thanks
