opps sorry i didt mention the size..its a 48x18x12.

picked up a bit of live rock.. and 4 pieces of ocean rock...i brought a
RO unit as i figured its cheaper than buying it from the lfs.

[/snip]
LR and RO ok but no comment on your ocean rock. My opinion on this will not
be good.

so at the mo my tank stands with the water at 75f..2 pieces of live
rock(will be buying another 4 on wednesday) 4 pieces of ocean rock 2
powerheads and a airstone.

[/snip]
So far seem ok. Again, no comment on the ocean rock.
Is that ocean rock you pick up from the ocean near you or you buy from some
place and it call ocean rock?

Live Rock is farm or aqua-cultural from a safe area or pick up from ocean
where they seed this rock. [I am not sure if that make any sense to you]

I do not normally pickup rock from the ocean as the reason I stated above
can be contaminate by bad stuff.

is it worth adding the skimmer at this stage?


[/snip]
Yes, you can add skimmer at this stage. It will help remove any nutrient
that may flowing / floating around the tank. During this time, you can do
some constant water change to help it along. Monitor your water by your
favorite test kit for Anmonia / Nitrite / Nitrate.
