IDK...I think I will take it out and put rubble or chaeto....Not sure yet..if I put chaeto..then I need a light ...right?
OHHHH...should I keep testing for these 3 things...and still test daily?

I think...but am not sure that he has a clip on cheapo light on it...
If it will be one the back which I assume it will...then the background will block the light obviously.

I don't see how the light could be hidden...

for the skimmer,
def. take out the blue media stuff.
i went with a aqua c skimmer instead of this one because with the aqua c, the box is tinted black/smoke colored which means you wont see all the grime and gunk in it. with the clear one, you will see it. so make sure u keep that background on! LOL
the tank looks great with the light on there, you will be happy with those.
for the ligth, check out red sea fish... google it or put 3w's infront and dotcom after it
the 13W should work nicely on the cheato..
btw, its listed under micro aquariums and accessories.

OK...Just so you know...I did NOT put it on due to impatience
I just thought I should test it cause if something was wrong..better to know now than a month from now when I really need it
I did a 3g w/c cause I had a lot of water made...(Idid w/c in all tanks today)
Salinity....1.025
ammonia: .5
Trites: 0
Trates: 0
I believe the next thing to happen will be ammonia will drop and trites will go up...am I right?
Also I am only running the actinics....
SOOOOO...I need you opinion....should I keep skimmer on? remember I hooked it up for fit...and to test.

Not yet. Want to do a test? Through some food in the tank, some mysis or whatever, like you are feeding a fish. Then tomorrow and the next day do some ammonia tests to see if you get any spike. Testing to see if your rock came in with much in the way of bacteria. wasn't the ammonia really high in the tote and has stayed at the .5 here in the tank for a few? Lets see what happens with a bio load of food. Oh yeah, getting any diatoms on the sand?

Could be diatoms...I see a little brown in the left corner where there is less flow.
YES...the ammonia was 4 in the tote....staying at .5 in the tank...is that normal?
How much food??? I was about to feed horses, so I have a cube thawed..I also have other stuff...flake, pellet...etc
LOOK AT THIS FOAM
IN the tube

Looks like you made a good choice. Maybe like a quarter cube.
Thanks
