I notice a slick sheen of oil on the water's surface when I insert raw salmon into the tank.
I’ve very recently started feeding salmon because I’ve heard of some reefers doing it, and salmon seems like a super healthy superfood to provide a tank.
Besides the apparent oil and the breakdown of the skimmer production (the bubbles get depressed and pop prematurely) (can someone explain the science of what’s happening to the skimmer when oil gets released?)
Is feeding salmon a poor or good choice for a reef tank, both for the inhabitants and for the actual water quality itself (oils released into the water column)?
Thanks in advance.
