Carbon reactor questions

[FRANK GRAZIANO]

Is it normal for a carbon reactor to lower the production of a protein skimmer? Waste in skimmer seems lighter in color and less per day?

 

[Retro Reefer]

Yes a well preforming GAC reactor will improve water quality and lower the amount of waist available to your skimmer.

Carbon absorbs particulates.

Your skinner extracts particulates.

The less particulates, the less there is for the skimmer to remove.

It was like chocolate milk with chunks now ice tea with small chunks.
