I have 4 kg of live rock and the water is cycled for almost a month. Now I added a Weipro venturi skimmer, 2012 hang on type. I have 6 damsels and a little crab.

My questions, I am getting alot of bubbles from the skimmer but no foam yet
. There is a water line mark on they cylinder, do I adjust to that line or above? How soon should I be seeing foams?

With this set up, what other advice can you offer?

Thank you
IMO,i wud remove the undergravel as it wud be constantly disturbing yr sand bed. are yr crush corals very fine ones? too coarse not ideal for a marine sand bed as it traps detritus.

as for yr skimmer,where's yr water level now ?
