Always better with a skimmer!
Protein skimmers are among the most important technical devices in a marine water aquarium and have the important task of removing organic pollutants, such as protein compounds, from the water cycle before they are converted into nitrogen by biological degradation processes. Marine water aquaria are constantly accumulating protein compounds as a result of feed, organic waste products and dead algae, animals and micro-organisms. As the majority of these compounds are broken down by nitrification, which is faster than denitrification, high levels of pollution lead to a long-term accumulation of harmful nitrate. The Cube Skimmer removes proteins (protein compounds) and inorganic as well as organic molecules from the water before the bacteria can decompose them. This reduces the load on the aquarium water and constantly reduces the nitrate content.
