1st post here and won't be my last based off of all the different opinions and information available.
The question that has me the most puzzled today is when should you add a skimmer?
I've got a 90g tank thats been running for about a month. 80lbs of life rock, 40lbs of live sand and a pair of clowns.
I was told by a lfs to add bio-spira and add a skimmer in a few months. Apparently the skimmer may skim away the bacteria I've added to establish the tank. Makes sense!
However, the more I read it sounds like I may want a skimmer day 1. Outside of a sock, 2 different filter pads and some charcoal in a bag am I really providing enough filtration? Also could make sense!
Am I on the right path or am I a month late on a skimmer purchase? Thanks for the help and the great content!
