Re: green water
We'd need a lot of info to begin to help you with that. For suspected water quality issues, we need to know the following to start off with.
-temperature
-salinity
-ph
-ammonia
-nitrites
-nitrates
-phosphates
-alkalinity
-calcium
-magnesium
-water changes, how often/how much
-lighting type and schedule
-method of biofiltration, i.e live rock/sand
(how much, how big is your tank) or man made bio media
-bioload, how many/what type of fish
-do you now, or have you ever dosed/used any supplements and/or chemicals
- feeding habitsExperience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Re: green water
Was it green before the skimmer was added? Is it possible you are overflowing skimmate into your sump/display
