Ok, I'm building a little sump/fuge for my nano tank. I've got a couple plastic containers one will be my fuge and the other will mechanically clean and return water. Here's my question. Why do we gazillions of dollars on protein skimmers? What exactly does it do? I used to have one on my pony tank and it did make gunky foam but it seems like my HOB filters do the same thing for a LOT less. It doesn't change my water chemistry when I run it or when I don't. Also, I keep a sponge filter in my tank so as not to damage my pod population and when I use the sponge it's so much more clear than when I run the protein skimmer. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Catherine
