Hello everyone, I’m I really confused and felt let down because of my nyos 160 skimmer. So I was browsing around and noticed that nyos 160 skimmers only use 18w of power. So I was like wow its really efficient. So I checked my apex and was surprised that it was using 52-55w. The skimmer is about...

Hello, I am wondering if a protein skimmer takes Calcium, DKH, and Magnesium out of a reef tank? I am trying to see if there is a way to keep these things in the water without having to dose so much, as this stuff can get expensive quickly.
