New Tank

[orucco]

I just setup a 75 gal FOWLR tank with 50 lbs. of live rock. I have a protein skimmer in the sump and was told by the LFS to leave the skimmer off for the first week to enable the bacteria to build up. Is this correct or should I have the skimmer on right from the start...................Thanks.

Unless you get a really heavy build up of gunk, I'd leave it off.
