Skimmer or Chaeto

[cvrle1]

A lot of people think that skimmer and chaeto are used for same thing, which is incorrect. One targets organics, while the other targets inorganic. I look at them as complimentary to one another, and not one or the other. Also, depending on size of tank you are running, you may need a lot of chaeto, and then you get into issue of keeping it in check, which can become hassle really quickly.
