Got a guy by the name of JC in to set up the tank. He did the plumbing for the skimmer as well as connected up everything else. He washed the aragonite once to get rid of the dirt and some calcium I guess. The salt (20kg Tropic Marin Pro Reef) was thrown in on top of the sand and we used tap water to fill the tank. The salt dissolved through the night.

The skimmer was turned off since it immediately boiled over with foam once started. There was some leaks in the plumbing and the hole where the outlet of the skimmer was passing through.

The sump is a bit small...

I placed 4 teaspoons full of kalkwasser on the filter mat. I also added about 200g of ROWAphos in a nylon hose in the sump.

Done some initial measurements and this is what the tank is at:

pH:           8.00
Temp:         24C
Alk:          7.5dKH
SG:           1.025
