Hi all,
I'm just setting up a new tank, and had a question about using skimmers.
I understand they should be run for a week or so to 'break in', is that right?
Currently my sump water is deeper than is recommended to operate the skimmer (for either a dry or wet skim). I've ordered a stand to sit the skimmer on, but it won't arrive for a few weeks.
If I turn my skimmer on now, will that help it break in before the stand arrives? Or will it not work because it's sitting in water about 11cm/4" deeper than it should be?
Tank is still cycling, there are no fish in it yet.
