i love this hobby started out with a fw almost 3 months ago thats doing real well so i desided to go to start out a sw aquarium heres what i have 40 gallon tank hob whisper 60 filter 2 ph 200 watt heater 50 lbs of cured figi and corraline live rock 37 lbs of fiji pink sand its been setup for maybe 15 hours when i first started out the water was unbearable but its almost clear now is it because of the live rock that made it clear up so fast because ive been reading it usually takes days and also would it take super long to start the cycle with just the live rock or should i add shrimp from the supermarket like ive been reading and and last am i supposed to wait a while to add a protein skimmer?
