We have had the aquarium cycling for 5 or 6 days now and installed a protein skimmer yesterday. I’ve read and watched almost everything I can find on skimmers and even the brand of skimmer and can’t find a good answer. We aren’t new to the saltwater tank, it has been years though, but never had coral in the last tank which we plan on with this one. Will they eventually go away? I’ve seen from 5 days to 2 weeks. That’s a big time frame. We have a 32 gallon FluvalSmart Flex tank and a Fluval Protein Skimmer as well. Any help is so much appreciated. I’m sorry if this has been asked and answered I got excited to find forum and asked before searching. Sorry
