Hey guys! I'm new to the whole SW thing, but I finally got my 30g reef tank cycling with 21lbs of Uaniva LR! This is so exciting! So far this is what I have going: Aqua-C Remora skimmer, 96w PC lighting (and 3/4w blue LED), two Power-Sweep 212s, a titanium heater, and 40lbs of live sand and 21lbs of LR. (I'm probably gonna get a little more LR this weekend.) SG is 1.026, pH is 8.3, and temp. is 77F. (Does this sound good?)
I do have one question, though... So far, my skimmer hasn't produced any foam (it's been running for about 6hrs)... Is this part of the "break-in" period, or am I doing something wrong? I was expecting
a lot of foam during the cycling stage. Here's a few pics (things are still a little cloudy looking):
