Probiotic reef salt
Do you recommend using the probiotic salt on a system that doesn't use a skimmer?

The next important element of the filtration system when using the probiotic method isthe application of an efficient protein skimmer. When set to „dry” skimming it helps to keep nitrates (NO3) and phosphates (PO4) at a low level and to reduce the excess of multiplied bacteria. |

Use without skimmer?
So you would not recommend for systems without skimmer? I think a better answer is needed.

I think the fact they say it keeps excess bacteria from growing is a solid indicator that it is needed.
