Just purchased this protein skimmer intended for my biocube. Have had my cube perking with live rock and live sand for 2 months. It is now getting time for me to consider adding snails, sand sifters, ect..."Coral".
My question is: It appears that my protien skimmer is designed to replace the carbon filter they have on this??? Does anyone have this type of system with a skimmer? Is it okay to run this without the manual carbon and only the protein skimmer? The airstone is meant to be changed monthly. Rather like a carbon cartridge filter. So maybe its adviseable. Since the skimmer is meant to be installed where the filter cartridge is normally set in, I am assuming the system is meant to be run with on the skimmer. Can anyone give me a heads up?
