if you don't intend to have any corals are protein skimmers necessary? i honestly don't know what their function is so maybe someone could shed some light on them for me?

protein skimmers
- Thread starter bottle-blonde
- Start date
They use the tension caused by sodium bicarbonated water to help "skim" wastes off of the top of the water. You get a good cupful of crap every few days. You wouldn't believe what I pull out of mine, and my skimmer is a pretty bad one! You can get a decent one for $70. Strongly recommended. By me at least.
