So the struggle continues...I purchased a used tank. I leak tested the tank. I have everything installed and ready to cycle. When I put the last few gallons of water in that went into the overflow my bulkhead had a slow leak. I must have bumped it after the leak test. I have ordered new bulkheads to replace them, better to be safe and fix now then have it leak again in a few weeks, months or whatever. The main display has the dry rock, live sand, heater (temporary placement, it will be in the sump) and 2 power heads. Can I start my cycle without running the sump and skimmer? I want to get the ball rolling. I don’t see why I would not be able to, just wanted to get opinions from some more experienced reefers.
