I'd put it back on when the LR goes in. Some will say to wait & see if you get ammonia from die-off on the rock, and if so wait till the cycle is over. There are always multiple opinions on this LOL! If you add a bacterial additive (RS Nitrobac or other) then leave the skimmer off for a couple days to avoid filtering the bacteria out before it can colonize the rock.
