Just started a new tank about week old use rocks from established tank to help get it going, when should I start using a protein skimmer and a Uv light on the new tank. read some article on google but they have mixed answers.
Thanks for you knowledge and time
 
The UV can help with water clarity but probably doesn’t need to be running before the display lights are on.

The protein skimmer can start running now.
