Is a protein skimmer necessary

[ieatfalalfel]

Yay! I got my skimmer in!

The Aqua C Remora just came in the mail! I got this one because of how many people said it works great and worship it! The substrate in my tank (aragonite) is settling. Do I need to wait for this before I turn on the filters and skimmer? Also, I am on vacation and found this great man made cement rock in a lake while on a boat. Can I sanitize this and then use less live rock?

ALSO, I will be ordering your book soon, when I get home.

Great - I was going to suggest a Remora. I have used one for 4 years on a 40b and still works like a champ. You should occasionally clean the jet with the supplied brush, esp. if you notice a slight sound difference or it is not pulling much gunk out.

Thank you, snowmaker.

The book will help you a lot. I've been surprised at the number of people who sat down and read it straight through.
