Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok im fixing to set up my very first salt water tank. I currently have a 14gal biocube freshwater. I choose to get another 14gal biocube for a saltwater setup.
As of now i have the tank, heater, thermometer, skimmer, circulation pump, and floss from my freshwater tank to use.
I plan on taking out the bioballs and replacing them with LR and floss on top if thats correct.
Once i get the LR and substrate what exactly are the best steps for setting this tank up? do i add just LR then later add substrate or add both at the beginning?
How long will it take for the tank to cycle?
After cycling what are the best "beginner" type fish to get and how many?
Also i would like to get corals at some point after cycling and getting fish. What would be the best ones to get for a biocube 14gal?
Like i said im new to the salt water tank and i really dont want to mess this up so all advice is welcome.
