I used to have a saltwater setup and I had a protien skimmer as part of the filtration. Before I added the protein skimmer, I could never get my my nitrates down to 0ppm, they would always be around 5ppm. Once I added the Protein Skimmer my nitrates went to zero and never came up again, and as is custom with me, I crowded the tank a little bit and the nitrates never went past 0ppm. So my question is, Why don't more freshwater fish keepers use protien Skimmers as part of the filtration? I am not using one because I sold mine when I took down my saltwater tank, but I am probably gonna buy one and try it out.
