Brandon's 65g RR upgrade.

Day 3 no longer cloudy from the sand but I have a bunch of microbubbles in my DT. My skimmer is going haywire its just overflowing not producing any skimmate and making all the microbubbles that are making it into my DT. Any ideas on why this is happening?

It won't pull anything because there is nothing in that water yet. It did the same thing to me when I setup my tank. I left the skimmer off for the first week or so. You don't want it pulling all teh good stuff out of the water that will cycle the tank.
 
Run it and break it back in. You probably should run it in a bucket of vinegar water overnight thou to clean it out well before putting it back in service.

I already did that then ran it in ro/di water to rinse out then let it dry.

This man had my bathroom smelling like we were coloring Easter eggs for days. -___-

Well I haven't updated since a couple days after I filled up my tank there has been a lot of progress since then some of which I'm sure ill be judged for. Cycle came and went in 7 days. Expect updates with pictures this evening. I know you all are dying in anticipation. LOL.
