get test kit, check for ammonia n NO2 (nitrite). Both zero, introduce fishes.

If hardcore check for NO3. maintain below 50ppm.

IMHO

A1) no idea ..should be ok... LFS dun have sand too... u putting LR?

A2) leave it alone.. i have that last time too but disappear aft 2~3 weeks of cycling

A3) play with the PS setting by moving it up n down n control the air input to get gd skimmate

A4) use ur test kit to test.. once the water stabalise..(mine took about 3 weeks) u can add 1 at a time.. dun rush n overload

UFG not popular with marine... heard lots of neg comment..
