Welcome, pics would be nice.
And remember, it might be Greek to you but we are your Greek Gods.
Not sure where you're from but in most cases you have a local online club that can help out too.
Welcome to R2R!!!
No need to go to another site when all the info you need is here at R2R: How to set up a saltwater reef aquarium tank- REEFEDITION

R2R is like a Marine bible online, LOL
Ok, took some time to read your thread and to see some of your pics.
You still have to do a lot of reading here, starting to read with the build threads would be the best bet for you.
Skimmers can be tricky, but oh so important to get it dialed in good.
Your skimmer seems to still breaking in. make sure that you not skimming to wet.
The stuff that you skimming off as of now is from your rock, to dirty rock can cause high PO4.
More rock is always better to control your balance but also for fish to hide and corals to grow on.
Not sure if you tested your water already but some # are important to know with a new setup, ALK, CAL, MAG, PO4, Nitrite, nitrate, ammonia and your salt level really important.
And remember: if you think you start slow.........go even slower.
