Hello all i need help for is what to put in the aquarium first but in steps this is what i have been tought to do:
1.Make sure tank is clean and clean all sand and acceseries.
2.Now pore in the sand even it all out.
3.Mix the salt in a seperate buket and pore it in keep doing this process.
4.Now put in the tap water condishener.
5.Now put all acceseries in after they have been washed in freshwater.
6.Now keep testing it for at least 24 hours including these tests nitrite, ammonia,nitrate,ph.
7.Now add all your live rock 5kg at a time though.
8.now keep testing it for at least 6 weeks when its all good (your tests) add some coral (optinal) and add some fish.

1. make sure tank is clean and ready
2. mix water in a seperate container(water,declor, salt, pump/heater, check salinity till its ready [1.023-1.024])
3. add live rock to tank (base rocks only can save time)
4. wash and add in sand
5. add in the rest of your rocks
6. water
7 cycle for about 2 weeks
8. test the system and think about adding in fishes


the reason rock goes in first is it prevents dips and catch spots where detritus can acumumlate
