Final Preperations...any thoughts??

So I have reached the setup stage for my tank. My setup includes:

29 Gallon Tank
Remora Pro skimmer
100 watt submersible Visitherm
30" CustomSealife PowerCompact
20 lbs live sand
25 lbs aragonite sand
Penguin 1140 Powerhead
40 lbs of live rock

My plan:
Fill the tank up and to the right specs, run the powerhead for a day.
Put in the sand (live on top)
Order the live rock and cycle


Now for the questions!!!

How does that sound? Am I forgetting anything?
When do I start the skimmer?
Do I need another powerhead and where do I position the one I have?

thanks for all the help.

Hey niners... Sounds like a plan. I would put the powerhead away from the skimmer return. Maybe 1/2 up behind your rock? That way you have 2 sources of current. As soon as you add the rock start the skimmer.

Good Luck!
