I've got some LR that has been in a bucket for a week but I can finally setup my tank so I want to move it into there. I have been skimming and it has been pulling lots of stuff from the water. Im going to have a 4" sand bed and will probably start off with a bad of LS to give the bacteria a boost. If I add the rock while is almost done curing will it hurt to skim until the tank is done cycling? After that, I want to try and get some more life to add to the sand bed and I know I should not skim for a while then. But will skimming affect bacteria production in a new tank?
