ivan... u need to cycle your tank to get the filters to settle down first.. ie, to get the bacteria settle in.. dumping in lots of live rocks on the first day will eventually crash the system..
to do a proper nitrogen cycle.. u need up to 28 days.. with just a couple of rocks to cycle the tank.. but u can shorten the time span by seeding your tank by using sand or used wool from someone's tank..
u should get a book as well.. read more abt the hobby first.. if not, if this goes on.. u gonna think that marine aquarium is very ex.. YES... it is if u dun do the right stuff the first time... u should not add first for the first 2 weeks if possible.. but i understand.. everybody would like to have everything up within a day.. mind u.. this is unlike FW fishes or system where everything can go up within a day...
any problem.. just post... we are more than happy to help our dark side.. hahaha... btw, on behalf of the moderators, welcome to Aquaticquotient.com.... especially, my dark side.. hahaha
yes.. do go for a skimmer... if money constraint.. go for ORCA.. cheap and good.. me using it with my 4ft.. but will upgrade it when i shift into my own house...btw, from what i read.. u have a surface skimmer???? u should be getting a protein skimmer..[]
