Yes, you can after day 3, but set it to dry skim.

What do you mean by dry skim?

 

[AngryMike2016]

You know how the bubbles that the skimmer makes climb into the neck of the skimmer cup? The higher the bubbles climb, the 'wetter' the skim is; the lower the bubbles climb, the 'dryer' it is.

so I don't want liquid to really be getting into the cup?

 

[AngryMike2016]

Correct.

 

[Hallowhead]

Correct.

Good spot for dry skin?

 

[AngryMike2016]

Yes. That a Tunze 9001? I have one in my Biocube.

Yeah it's the 9001 a great skimmer no?

For a nano it's pretty good, yeah.

Starting my first dose of fluc today, I have a Fluval M90 36Gallon tank. How much should I start with ?

 

[Hallowhead]

Is it bad to add new fish while tank is being treated?

 

[AngryMike2016]

One thing at a time.

One thing at a time.

I have loads of brown diatom and I was going to get a goby to start filtering sand

Should I wait to remove diatoms until I can do my water change ?

So I started the reef flux treated meant 2 days ago. Used 3 full capsules and half of one for my 36 gallon tank. Skimmer is off and only have filter floss and a little bag of gFO inside.

I did not turn off my Blues upon start didn’t know that was needed but reading back on the first initial post it seems @NCreefguy did. So I just turn off all my atinics and just have White’s all day. With the same ramp up and down settings.

I have yes to see any progress. Maybe it was the lights ? But I’m hoping to see something soon.

Should I turn my skimmer back upon the 3rd day which will be tomorrow or what ?

I left everything running in my tank like normal except carbon and ran skimmer without the cup so there was still air in the water.

Thanks for the answer. I’ll wait and see if any results happen

It takes a good 7 or 8 days before you start seeing anything, and then it moves very quickly.

According to directions I’m supposed to turn skimmer back on today ? Any way I should turn it back on ? Wet skin or dry ?

 

[AngryMike2016]

Dry skim.

 

[fishybizzness]

I wouldn't turn it on. I kept mine off for the full 2 weeks
