Protein skimmers are applied to most saltwater aquariums to remove certain organic
compounds, including proteins and amino acids, by using the polarity of the protein itself,
from the water to stop most of them decomposing into nitrogenous waste. Because of the
intrinsic charge, water-borne proteins are attracted to the air-water interface. Protein
skimmers work by infecting numerous tiny bubbles into the water chamber, which present an
enormous air-water interface for the protein molecules to cling to. The more tiny bubbles
reside in the chamber, the more proteins it absorbs. Protein skimming is the only way of
physical filtration that gets rid of the organic compounds before its decomposition, lightening
the load on the biological filter and improving the water's redox potential.
