@pengxiong675 Does the air stone keep moving or something?

Do you HAVE to use a limewood air stone?
-
did the microbubbles go away after a while?

@Quake120 That I know Im just saying the water should be taken from the top of the tank preferably. not from the bottom of the tank.

@anynamenotused No, that is not how a 'protein skimmer' works. A protein skimmer works by a process known as foam fractionation. Put simply, the proteins bind to the bubbles and are brought out of solution and deposited into the reservoir.
Check out the article 'protein skimmer' on Wikipedia for more information.

isnt it suppose to skim the waters surface? Hence the name skimmer. Unlike water from an overflow that would be coming from the surface. I think the protein is lighter and raises in the water correct?
