What to do with skimmer ? I have been running my tank now for a couple days with a sand bed and saltwater no fish or rock. My skimmer looks like it's been cleaning something and I get dirty water in cup do I run the drain hose to floor drain ? It seems to be condensation in cup building water do I have it set wrong ?

My skimmer is also making lots of micro bubbles how do I tell it to stop besides unplugging it

Just let it run. You don't have any type of bio-load in your tank, so it's not going to that much
anyway. Once you add fish and rock, it will start pulling out organics, etc. I've used this
skimmer before and found it to be pretty good.

My tap water in Toronto has about 250 TDS. Yours seem very high.

It's because it's well water it actually goes over 1000 ppm my water is really soft and clear and no chlorine but was lab tested and it's all good.

I got my pukani dry rock yesterday from eli at fiji reef rock. I gave it all a bleach bath for the nighthttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/...pst7xpvt6q.jpgthen today I did the acid bathhttp://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/...psralslapd.jpgafter that I started building my aqua scape it should be ready to put in tank tomorrow http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/...pscvoopjes.jpg

I also need someone's skim from there skimmer in grande prairie to seed my tank

Do you need to do that with the base rock ???

Scape looks great if you can replicate that in the tank.
