Re: The Set-Up

Welcome to RS!

Well you have come to the right place and with the right attitude.
The most important things are to go slowly and research everything before you do it.
Along with that sand and water you are going to want to get live rock. The recommendation is 1-2 lbs per gallon of water.
Put the LR and sand and water in the tank and then add a piece of raw shrimp from the grocery store. This will give you the amonia you need to start the cycling of your tank. While the tank is cycling you have time to do a lot of research and ask a lot of questions. Meanwhile you will need to start testing the water to see how the cycle is progressing.

A reef tank is like a racecar. The faster you go the harder you crash.
