but if it cant be done. i just wait to have money for big skimmer. i had a tank that crashed a year ago when started guys.i lost everything. any advise u can give me about the skimmers would be great also how i move fish/rock over without killing everything. cheers monty.
 
move some of the sand and rock over now to help with the cycling,once cycled and water change done move the rest of the rock and fish in ,as for the skimmers,use both if you want 2 is better than 1 small one.
