I posted about the new tank before and the issue I'm having with my skimmer. I'm still having the problem with the skimmer but I took some water in for testing and was told that the numbers are all good to start introducing live products into the tank. The folks at the store suggested starting with invertebrates rather than fish. I told them about the skimmer and they said it sometimes takes several weeks for the skimmer to work properly so I decided to wait another week or so before adding anything live.
I've noticed green algae growing in the display tank. There is some on the glass and some on the rock. Could this be due to the skimmer not working properly? I checked the water temp and saw that it was high so I turned off the heater (which is in the sump). The temp is now back down to where it should be. Anyone have any suggestions or should I just leave everything until the skimmer starts working properly? It's been over a month now and I'm starting to have reservations about saltwater. I'm really hoping someone here can come up with a solution. I'd hate to have to take all this apart and put a lava lamp on the shelf where the tank was.
