If you are keeping the tank at a high SG then I would recommend the skimmer. The skimmer only becomes a good idea when you start to get closer to the SW side of Brackish.Thu, 22 Nov 2007 19:31:55 GMTILuvMyGoldBarbhttp://www.aquariumfish.com/aquariumfish/board/Topic130372-28-1.aspxI don't know this for sure, but I have read that they won't work at such a low salinity. Take that for what it's worth since it's secondhand information.Thu, 22 Nov 2007 17:21:02 GMTHaileyhttp://www.aquariumfish.com/aquariumfish/board/Topic130372-28-1.aspxHi all, I've been breeding tropical fish for about 20 years, and I've been wanting to start a brackish water tank. I've been wanting to breed Sailfin Mollies for a while now. But anyway, my question is: the use of a protein skimmer is mostly for salt water tanks, but since brackish water is adding salt to the tank. Would a protein skimmer be useful ? Any ideas ?<br><br>Thanks <br><br>Robert T<br><br>10 Gallon:<br>4 Black Skirt Tetra<br>2 Cory catfish<br><br>Thu, 22 Nov 2007 14:36:30 GMTTeChNoT
