On my way...

So, my water has clear up by now, but I still have particles of something circulating. I would guess that it is the very fine bits of sand or maybe just a silt kind of stuff that needs to settle? I am using CaribSea's Agaronite sugar sand. The water itself looks clear, so just waiting it out, I guess.

I am currently running a Rena Xp2, and a Bio-Skim 600. I know nothing about the Bio-Skim. It was included in the purchase of my used tank. It is moving water and the skimmer is bubbling, so I would suppose that it is functioning properly.

My lights were just delivered, and I have 44 lbs of Fiji Live rock to arrive on Thursday. After that, I will getting maybe 25-30 more lbs of Tonga branch from a friend with too much.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my progress. It's gonna be fun! Lets see if I did the photo upload correctly!

 

The skimmer is built into the Bio-Skim 600. I don't know that there is a way to shut it off?

 

Not sure without pics. It won't hurt you much to leave it on though.

That said, congrats! New tanks are exciting!

 

Absolutely, new tanks are exciting...Have fun, and take it slowwww8)
