Hi folks:
Specs:
90Gal SW tank
7 damsels cycling tank (down from 15 initially)
Set up tank with local tap water
OK, after 6 days of running just the W/D filter on my new SW tank, the LFS guy came by and turned on the UV sterilizer and my protein skimmer. After he left, I added a little Seachem Prime to the tank, because I read that you should add it to help with dechlorination of tap water. Did I just make a colossal mistake? Should I not be adding anything to the water until the tank has completely cycled? I noticed after I added the Prime to the tank that now the water looks somewhat cloudy, but I can't tell if the cloudiness is from tiny bubbles (maybe from turning the protein skimmer on?) or the addition of the Prime to the tank water.
Any comments would be appreciated.

P.S. I've ordered a RO/DI filter, and I plan on using RO/DI water from this point on with the tank. I don't need to use dechlorinator on RO/DI water, correct?
