Brand new reefer

I’m brand new to the reefing community and I have a nuvo 40 gallon and just was wondering what would be the best protein skimmer and what type of chemicals should I add when first starting up? Any advice helps

Welcome! Glad you joined. Agree with earlier posts like #2 & #3 in this thread.

Have you added a skimmer to your nuvo 40? I have the same tank, 40 gallon, and looking for recommendations on skimmers. Preferably not a hang on skimmer
