Starting my Nano tomorrow!!!!

[RobbAdams]

OK, for question 1 I have located a used BakPak Skimmer from the gent I am getting the bow front from tomorrow! So I know this is rated as a great skimmer.

as for Question 2,3,4 I think I have gotten answers from Nano-reef.com. From what I could gather leaving on the Actintic light only is reccomended. I am also going to Skim from day one, as I don't really care how long the cycle takes, as buying all the other stuff has pretty much Wiped out my savings!!
