Question: 

 

Do I need to use a protein skimmer when using H2Ocean Nutri pellets to reduce Nitrate and Phosphate?

 

Answer: 

 

When using the Nutri-Pellets a powerful protein skimmer will be required. This will export bacterias and mulm that is shed from the biopellets as they do there job. If this is not removed it is possible to experience problems with cloudy water due to the high numbers of stray bacteria, this can also lead to low oxygen levels. By skimming out the bacteria and mulm you will also be removing the nutrients they have consumed.
