The protein skimmer cleans the saltwater and completely removes dissolved organics and proteins from the system into their collection cups before they get a chance to break down further and cause undesirable algae problems. Protein skimmers also help in increasing the dissolved oxygen level in the aquarium water.

Okay, just humor me here. This is for a saltwater tank, right?

Jon...If you have a drilled tank and a sump you can put the skimmer in the sump. If your tank is not drilled you would have to cut a hole in the top of the tank for the skimmer. A jigsaw will cut acrylic very easily.
