what's the next step?

ok, I have a 38 gallon aquarium.
It has 3-4" DSB.
My RO/DI water unit ishould be arriving within a few days.
When it gets here, I'm going to hook it up and fill the tank. Then what?

Add about 1/2 cup per gallon of aquarium salt (I would only do about 90% tank volume and start testing and adjust from there till you get to 1.025 SG (make sure to wait a couple hours or so between adjustments and testing to allow all the salt to dissolve and mix). From that point you can start cycling the tank, either add a raw cocktail shrimp or add LR.
