Well, i am going to be off to college in about six months. I can’t really take a 60 gallon with me, since i will be living on campus. I just want to know (in your opinion) what to do with my tank. Within my family there is no one capable of maintaining a tank (even a freshwater aquarium). Should i give my setup to my local Fish Store??? The bottom point is that i don’t want anything bad to happen to my fish,inverts corals.
Through the hard work i’ve put to into my aquarium i have developed a passion. I i will feel guilty if my fish are given to the wrong person. I am willing to give my aquarium to someone that is responsible. We are talking about a $3000 setup-

Protein skimmer in freshwater invertebrate aquarium?

Hi,

Im keeping a 450 liter freshwater aquarium for shrimps. Shrimps do not tolerate very high levels of nitrates. I have been reading a little about protein skimmers for salt water aquariums. Supposedly these remove organic waste from the aquarium to help better control nitrate levels. However, I have also read that these are best used in salt water aquariums and not in freshwater.

So, can I use a skimmer in freshwater?
