Scott's 135 gallon display tank build

[Gp Scott]

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.
