As in a previous post am thinking of starting a marine tank in a few months, I have done some research in internet about marine aquariums and what's involved. The amount of equipment and knowledge is vast obviously being my first marine tank would like to keep it simple.
Feel like a stupid idiot asking these questions!
but trying to understand processes of marine tank keeping. First I understand that skimmers produce bubbles that collect waste and gets past on to a sump I presume. Correct please i am wrong!
I believe size of bubbles can be adjusted when and why do you adjust skimmers?
Also not sure if this is right but do some have compartments with filter media, what compartment do you put the different media in and why?
Correct me if iam wrong or using wrong terminology, is there anything else about skimmers u should know?
Please pretend you are trying to explain to a kid please am complete beginner.
Am starting to wounder if I am experienced enough to keep marine fish but everyone must start somewhere!
Any advice would be appreciated.
