So I picked up a 29 gal. It came with a fluorescent light fixture, marineland c-220 canister, glass top, cleaning supplies, black stand, hydor koralia, and salinity hydrometer.
It also had live sand in the tank. And while there is barely any water in it, the sand is moist and wet.
So I have a couple questions.
If I want to make use of the live sand, what steps should i follow to quickly get it cycled?
Or, should I just start all over?
Not having yet invested in a skimmer, is it something i need to grab immediately or wait until it's cycled and fish are added?
BTW I hope to start off as a fowlr (maybe a dwarf lionfish) and eventually upgrade the lights for reef.
So more than a couple questions... any help would be much appreciated.
