Setting up Tank - Assistance Needed

[ricks280]

hi guys , i just finished cycling a 280 gal a few weeks ago and as soon as the live rock went in i turned the skimmer on. you will find that most skimmers will take a few days to start performing anyway.j.m.o.)(rick) :happy:

I did the same exact method....worked beautifully! I haven't had anything other than crystal clear water ever since I started my 55g on tuesday. DO THIS U'LL THANK ME LATER! :happy:
