Newbie 75 gallon

[Llorgon]

I fragged the one acro last night. Will have to see how it's doing when I get home today.


I'm hoping it will just be a mini cycle, but I have a really bad feeling it will be a complete cycle. Anything I can do to speed it up a bit? Find a small piece of live rock from another member that is pest free?


I picked up a protein skimmer last night from another member. Should I set that up now or wait until the cycle has finished again?


I have been looking at the glamorca gyres. The reviews on them don't seem that great. I'm a little hesitant to spend $200 on another power head that might break soon. On the other hand, I don't have the budget right now for $300+ on a power head.
