This review is from: Protein Skimming & Activated Carbon Secrets (Paperback)
Bob Goemens is a well-known and respected expert in the saltwater aquarium industry for his knowledge and research. This booklet gives some fantastic advice on how to set up and maintain protein skimmers and activated carbon filtration. Goemens presents the information in a very straightforward, easy-to-understand way, providing descriptions and detail without overburdoning the reader with unnecessary terminology. He starts with a brief history of protein skimming, then discusses the verious types of skimmers and how to select the correct one for your system, then continues with detailed information about how to set a skimmer up and maintain it. I found his discussion on foam production and how to maximize it invaluable in making my filtration system at home much more efficient -- and my water is more crystal-clear than ever before as a result! His section on activated carbon is more concise (as there is less to carbon filtration than there is to skimming) but is equally informative. It includes how carbon works, how to select activated carbon and how to maintain it. This is a great reference booklet!

This review is from: Protein Skimming & Activated Carbon Secrets (Paperback)
Protein skimmers and activated carbon are probably the two most misundsrstood or non-understood factors in all of amateur fishkeeping.This is not a book, it's a pamphlet. But it's a great value when it comes to the information therein
