Before you work on
your
aquarium,
your hands and arms.
It is very important to
remove dirt, moisturiser and
other impurities.
A new protein skimmer (or one
that has been thoroughly cleaned)
requires a running in period before
it reaches peak efficiency. During
this time, it may spill microbubbles into the
sump and may under/overskim.
For this reason, your skimmer will require
daily inspection and adjustment. This is
commonly known as running in the skimmer.
This process typically takes 1-2 weeks.
