Hi Bro Your System Is new so is your skimmer..Normaly skimmers Have a Period called "Break In" simple explanation Is that viscosity of salt water is affected by many things, oil being the big one, I have a large beckett style Skimz skimmer, if I feed or put my hand in the tank the head collapses the bubbles back up and start going out the return instead of staying in the riser IN Your case Various oils,silicon and who knows what is present in a new plastic skimmer that alone will restrict foam production, after a short while this is cleansed by the salt water and a slime coating is deposited, the bubbles get finer taking longer to climb the tower, picking up waste and creating foam. Once the "cleansing ritual" has been performed the skimmer people will no longer wish to escape into the tank but rejoice, join together and arise to the great brown goodness they alone can make..Hope this helps
I Would say go for a mix reef with angel"s..A Mixreef with a lion is just plain wrong..you will have difficulti doing maintainence +lions need a good volume or space to sleep..There are also A Handfull of Angel species that are reef safe..i feel you should get them as you get the best of both worlds!
Cheers!
