We started up our 75 gallon and have a question. Am I suppose to run my protein skimmer at the beginning? I read on one of the forums that yes to run it but now I see on some others that ask about the smell when putting the shrimp in to start the cycle and that person was told that he shouldn't be running the skimmer. We've got 5lb ov live rock rubble in the sump and 50 lb of cured live rock in the tank along with some dead rock. I put the shrimp in yesterday and noticed tonight that the kitchen is starting to smell. Is it the shrimp or the live rock?
