1. Basics
During the protein skimming process, organic pollutants in the aquarium water i. e. protein compounds formed
by the excretions of animals, are attached to fine air bubbles as a mono-molecular film. These air bubbles are
pushed against the inflowing water in the reaction pipe so that there is a long contact time. Enriched with organic
substances, they rise to the top and form a strong foam which is dehydrated in the reaction pipe and then
passes into the collection cup. Using this method, removal of organic pollutants from the aquarium water takes
place whereas during bacterial processes they are merely transformed and not removed.
