Hi all first post here on R2R, to give some background I have just set up a biocube 32 and it currently has 35lbs of dry rock, 20lbs live sand, and the water mixed to 1.024sq. I am using the In-tank media basket with filter floss and 1L of sea Chem matrix. I will start to truly cycle it with Dr Tim’s fishless cycle kit on Thursday when it comes it the mail. I plan to make this a reef tank with mostly softies and a few fish, or maybe a single lion fish if possible.
My question is, should I buy and start to run a skimmer on this tank? Or is a skimmer on a “nano” like this a waste of money? Past threads on this topic show quite a bit of disagreement on the effectiveness of a skimmer on a nano, but I thought maybe since those threads are old, opinions have changed.
if I should be running a skimmer is the Coralife Biocube 32 V2 skimmer good enough, or is there a better one That does not require modification.
If I get a skimmer, should I run it while cycling, or after ?
Thanks for the help! -Will
