Ever Wonder What is in your skimmate?..Lol was Bored so was reading up alot of stuff
based on what i read
The Report
38% organic carbon
26% calcium carbonate
21% silicon dioxide
8% inorganic ions (trace nutrients????
7% magnesium carbonate
Another surprising thing (sort of Haha if i can say it..it was the amount of calcium carbonate removed. Clearly, our tanks have a lot of calcium carbonate in the water—that’s not what is surprising Lol.. but most of us spend a lot of time trying to ensure calcium levels stay high in our tanks, but the results of that study suggest that our skimmers may be sucking Partial of dosing out of our tanks.
