Ah ha! That's the part of this process that I couldn't wrap my head around! I had no idea that the skimmer would remove the large particles of detrius from the water. I always (eroneously) believed that you needed multiple stages of filtration in the system: macro (HOB or canister), micro (skimmer) and biological (livesand, and/or rock)
