Ok guys.. first sw tank.. first post..
Have my tank setup here with 70 lbs cured LR.. 20 lbs live sand, 40 lbs dead sand..
Couple of questions..
1. I've been told not run the protein skimmer yet (coralife SS125).. i don't see why? i thought the more the merrier..
2. Also.. being that i have so much cured LR and live sand.. should i be testing the water.. and when could i possibly add my cleanup crew ?
I know i'm not doing fish for a few weeks.. but would love to see some life in there.
My only mess up in the setup was using tap water initially (my RO unit is on order) and using Stress Coat to dechlorify the water which is now foaming up in my berlin sump..
Any thoughts or helps? Picture attached
