ok so after lugging 400-odd liters of seawater up to my flat, we are up and running!
I am using CaribSea Aragonite in my display tank, the poacket says will stay make the water murky for a day or so, so it's pretty siff right now.
got one piece of live rock!
all 6kgs of it. will get more soon. can't see right now cuz of murkiness.
engine room. DSB is 18cm thick - is it maybe a bit too deep? took a bit more sand than necessary!
now a question about my skimmer. I am certain that it's running too "wet", or the foam is forming to high as the cup is filling with some very murky water. Compared to the skimmrs in the LFS, the foam is not right at all. My adjuster pipe is at its lowest setting, and any higher simply makes this worse. What can I do? I realise that there isn't much to skim right now, but there is a bit of life from the LR, so it should be doing something. Also, I'm not too sure if it should even be on right now, as there seems to be a lot of foamy stuff around from the aragonite - should I leave the skimmer off for now, and let the aragonite stuff settle?
Any advice much appreciated!
