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.
