Skimmer Question

Is there any since in running my skimmer in my frag tank before I put anything in there?? I don't really think there is but want to check.

If it is new, they take a couple weeks for break in.

The set-up is new but the skimmer is an old one

you can run it and it wont hurt it. you will see the crud that is in the water.

You dont have to unless you are curing live rock or have any fish in it. But having one wont hurt. It is amazing what a skimmer can take out even from relatively clean water.

Ok thanks for the info guys!!

If your going to be doing weekly or bi-weekly water changes a skimmer is really not needed unless your going to be running a big fish load on it.

Oh OK but with me I better just keep a skimmer on it!!!LOL

garrett i would go with the skimmer since considering how much water changing you like to keep up on, lol!!
