Regarding "wood" mechanical diffusers; these are suitable for air-driven protein skimmers only; the fine bubbles they produce for a while are dangerous to livestock, known to cause embolism and other environmental gas- diseases. My strong recommendation is to utilize a separate dedicat

The algae and bacteria that grow on the decorations are beneficial. The algae provide oxygen for the fish. Cleaning the coral on a regular basis will only work well if fe
