Hey,
Finally set up my tank. Just wondering if the Skimmer should be running during cycling? Some say no and most say yes according to various google results. I personally would want it to run during cycling just to "Break In" so that how it will be ready for when fish are put in. I had designed my sump originally to have space for a heater for freshwater however after having the sump redone to fit a skimmer there is literally no room for the heater in the sump unless I keep it diagonal in my k1 moving bed filter chamber but there will be lots of flow and air bubblers in it. I do have plenty or room in the corner over flow for both my heater rated at 250 watts each (159 gallons). I wanted to put both in the sump...but do you think it will work just as great If keep them in the corner over flow? Thanks
