Protein Skimmers And Fluval 305S

[mikeparr1978]

Hi i have been given a protein skimmer usually used in marine setup to remove waste. Would this be okay to be used in a tropical set up.

Also what filter media do people use in a cannister filter, i have fluval 305.

Many thanks

Hello and welcome to TFF,
You don't really need a protein skimmer for a freshwater setup. In my 305 i have 4 sponges with biomax in all the media baskets, the top basket of biomax has polishing pads on the top.

Hope that helps, Skins.
