Foam Fractionation: See protein skimming.
Foliose Coral: A coral whose skeletal form approximates that of a broad, flattened plate.
foam fractionation
The technical term for how a protein skimmer works.
Foam fractionation Method of separating out proteinous substances from water by foaming action. Also know as protein skimming.

Protein skimming/foam fractionation is not mandatory, but it is a trusted method of maintaining water quality. Dissolved proteins linger to air bubbles and form protein foam.
Probably the concentration gradients which are essential for foam fractionation are set up in the foam riser.
foam fractionation See protein skimming. halogen Halogen lights have a very yellow light not appropriate for aquarium use. Do not confuse these with metal halide lights. heater A device to warm the aquarium water.
One of the most important design elements of foam fractionation is bubble contact time.
Using a Protein Skimmer: Foam fractionation is used to reduce Dissolved Organic Carbon or dissolved organics (DOC). Use an efficient model and make sure that the foam is dry and colored and smelly.
The technical term for 'protein skimmer' is foam fractionation. The process involves mixing air, in the form of fine bubbles, and salt water.
Protein skimming, also known as foam fractionation or adsorptive foam seperation, is a process where air bubbles drive organic compounds out of a water solution.
(See POWER FILTERS) FOAM FRACTIONATION See PROTEIN SKIMMERS. INTERNAL FILTERS These filters are plastic cartridges that fit inside the aquarium. Dirty water is drawn into the filter through slits located on either the top or sides of the body.
A part of filtration which most recently has gained wide spread acceptance is protein skimming, or foam fractionation.
Another type of mechanical/physical control involves the use of ultraviolet sterilizers (which we'll cover separately) to chop up the DNA of free-floating algae, and protein skimming (aka foam fractionation) with or without ozone to remove algae ...
