Welcome to 3reef, and glad to see you have a tank started.
Four things to keep a mind on. Your micro algae will probably die do to no nutrients in the tank to feed on. Keep lights off for a while to keep from feeding algae growth. Don't run a skimmer for a few months unless you put some nasty LR in there as it will extract spores you need in the early stages of a tank. Finally, you need something in the tank to help bacteria to grow, Yellow tail damsel or something.
One other thing.....your water level looks awful high in the sump, have you shut all pumps off yet and checked to see if your sump can hold all the water??? _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)
