 Skimmer Worries
Hello! This is a skimmer problem, but first some details... I have had my 46gal bow-front running now for about 3 1/2 years so I am fairly experienced at this. However for the last two years (after my monumental failure at trying to keep corals due to lack of money and lighting) it has been pretty much fish only with a couple mushroom corals (about the hardiest corals, in my opinion). The fish: 1 gold striped maroon clown, 1 royal gramma, and 1 damsel (i forget the type, pretty big now, black with neon blue stripes). I finally have the money, and have invested in an additional 2 96w power compacts, which brings me to 3 total, and 6.2 watts per gallon, some power heads....and my skimmer. I just got it today and have been reading they have a break in period? That is new to me because the last skimmer I had (years ago) started skimming immediately, but the difference is now the one i have is a hang-on, and before it was a pretty cheap one that stuck to the side of the tank. My question is, I have about 5 corals on the way which I ordered on the Internet. I didn't anticipate this break-in period. They will be here Thursday, will they be OK until the skimmer is going properly? I certainly hope so because there isn't much I can do about it now! (Maybe my LFS could hold them for me)....anyways any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks! |
