I have bought my first saltwater tank 5 days ago, I got a 29 gallon coralife biocube with 20 lb of sand(Not live sand) and about 20 pounds of live rock. When I got my live rock the next day the man at my LFS said I would need a fish to help seed the tank and said I can have a yellow tailed damsel. I also got something called start up which says it starts the cycle. I also bought a test kit and my results are ph 8.4 ammonia 0 nitrate 0 nitrite 0. With my freshwater tank it took a lot longer before I got results like this. What does it mean that i am getting results like a cycled tank would give. Also I think I have a pest anemone from the live rock I got and I don't know what to do. It looks like I have aiptasia, I have read that peppermint shrimp eat it but I dont think I should get shrimp in my tank yet. What do you think I should do and if you think I am doing something wrong please tell me,
