AQUA ESSENTIAL will not disrupt any type of protein skimmer.

Does this balance the pH?

This does not change the pH of the water.

How does it remove ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? Does it have nitrifying bacteria?

Aqua Essentials binds these compounds. This product does not have it's own nitrifying bacteria, but the bound compounds are still available for any nitrifying bacteria.
