Protein Skimmer and sand
I have a brackish fish tank at a 1.005 SG, if I go higher it would at HIGHEST go at 1.010, do i need a protein skimmer? Also, im thinking about getting some sand, I have gravel right now... is sand worth it?
Noobs, it takes one to know one.

Re: Protein Skimmer and sand
A skimmer would be useless in there. I suggest aragonite sand, about 1" layer.
