The skimmate from the skimmer should be green and smell awful.
It is a 120 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump. We put about 25 pounds of live rock in the sump from an existing tank. I also used thr 3 day cycle when I started it. The sump water is brownish green. I have two yellow tailed damesls and a clownfish in there.
