I just set up my 29, used tap water for the initial fill and I plan to use RO for the water changes and top offs. Started up my skimmer and I'm getting alot of orange film, I take it that this is rust in my water. Is this going to be ok?
 
Ahh Rust. I miss those wonderful red stains everywhere :) I dont think you should have a problem. just venturi taking out the rust
Comeone correct me if I am wrong
 
Iron can be toxic in s.w. but, if it's just a little film it shouldn't cause any problem . If you have sps you might even have to dose fe.
