Default Re: Protein skimmer when cycling the Tank?

Great to see you adding more rock first! one tip is when following the pounds per gallon you need to consider the rock mass. Florida rock is dense while Bali is much less so. If you are useing a dense rock you willbe at the upper end of pounds per gallon. I like to mix rock to give the apperance I like plus have enough rock. As far as stocking goes An old hat a long time ago told me that you should wait 30 days minimum between additions. It works well for me I add 1-3 pieces of livestock (corals/fish) then wait and watch. The exception is cleaner crew stuff I feel the benefit outways the cost and add what I need.
