alrighty, i have a 75 gallon tank that will eventually be a reef tank. as i understand it i dont need my protein skimmer until after i am cycled. can someone please give me an example of what a good protein skimmer will be? what do you guys use and what do you find to be a good skimmer? i am going to have a yellow tang, 2 clown fish, 5 chromis, 1 blue damsel. im also gonna get a couple of beginer/easy corals after i add fish. so what i am going to do is salt and add RO/DI water, add cured rock, than add sand. can i clean my sand with regular tap water? im gonna have a 30 gallon sump in my stand. what do i do as far as lighting for the rock when its cycling? as far as light goes, when im ready to add corals, wht type of halide should i get? i like the shimmer effect they give off and i like the white light. if anyone could just answer those couple of questions and tell me if my situation sounds good id appreciate it. thanks. 
), ASM, Euroreef, or maybe an AquaC Remora. Try and avoid cheaper ones like Redsea Prism, Jebo, or Seaclone. And I'd turn my skimmer on as soon as there is rock in the tank. Might as well get used to running it
