i'm new to this site and to the marine aquarium hobby. i havent yet started the tank, though i just want to plan how to set it up.
my first of probably many questions to come is...
what exactly does a protein skimmer do?
i'm setting up the Rainbow Lifegard 'filters' containing the heater module, chemical module, mechanical module, ultraviolet sterilizer, fluidized bed filter and a pump (or 2). do i need a skimmer? what would it's purpose be? i was thinking of Red Sea Prizm Skimmer, any thoughts on that (opinions)??
thanks,
David Liles
