Well can you give me the name brand on the skimmer?
Most skimmers will really only pull gunk out of the water if it is there to pull...ie no fish no fish poop no gunk. When you put in live rock you might have some die off so then yes. Putting in some power heads for flow would be good how about a pic too?

No it is not like the Fission Nano, thankfully you didn't get that one.
In any case your next step should be to look for some live rock like I said look around here. If you understand some live rock may not be totally cured(cured is getting rid of the dead matter on live rock a process accomplished by the bacteria). I am sure someone has the link handy for the cycles that your tank should go through.

Yeah anyway,
I left like 3 or 4 inches in the tank for the live rock to displace water. Now I think tonight ill just run the corolla powerhead, i think 1 should be enough for now, i did pick up a second one today though. But yeah my sand and a few buckets of water are in. My filter skimmer combo is setup all i have to do is plug it in but the water level isnt high enough. Thats why I thought I'd play it safe and just let the powerhead do some work tonight.

Welcome to NJRC Ryan.
I have plenty of live rock to get you setup. Free. I can also give you a few cups of Live sand filled with copods to set you on the right path for success.
Stop over, I'll show you and explain to you how all the equipment works and what it does. Your only 5 minutes away. Send me a personal message and I'll give you my address.
Once you have the live rock in, you have to feed the tank to keep the cycle going. You can put a piece of shrimp or something similar in.

Thanks John.
We've all started from scratch Ryan. I started 30 years ago. The only good help and info. around then was Trop.
You're lucky to have this site around to help you and every other newbie.
A lot of us use a free web host called Photobucket to post our pics. here. It's very easy that way.
