Hey reef central.
Yesterday was finally the big day.
Got the tank running finally and set up my new skimmer.
But when I woke up this morning it is running over the cup bubbles and all.
Not sure how to fix it so I just unplugged it.
Also my tank water smells not sure if it's cause its all new.
And my tank is cloudy and I'm starting
To think something is wrong lol.
I bought a phosban reactor I was thinking of running carbon in it till it
Cleared but my main plan is running RoWa Phos? But my lfs told me not to run it yet since is it is still new to cycling?

Equipment list
57 deep blue
Custom led fixture.
Bubble Magnus curve 5 skimmer
Ehiem 300 return pump.
Mp10 Wes

Am I worrying for no reason or should I start to worry cause something is wrong? Please help me out I need input guys

Set the skimmer to lower water heigth. It is adjustable right?? OPEN the valve all the way.

Just let it sit.

YES Slow down...

Cycling is a sit and wait game, reguardless of what others tell you, just do it right. That way less problems down the road.

Leave everything turned off except heater,pump,skimmer,light,mp10
