I got my live rock and sand in today, along with a fresh shrimp and was curious as weather or not to run the protein skimmer during the cycling process? Should I wait to start the skimmer until my 'trates' start climbing?
Thanks,
Bruce
On the other hand... skimmers need to break in a little to get rid of the oils in them. I would run it, it won't hurt, it just won't really do anything much. If it pulls out a lot of water you can just dump it back in your tank.
