New 8 gal biocube.

[ldaniel]

so I went to the store today and found a deal I could not pass up. I was able to get an 8 gallon biocube, bag of cc, bag of salt, and stand for about 80.
this will be my first saltwater tank, any advice as to wear to move on from here?

Cool, welcome to the saltwater world! lol...great deal!
The first thing to do is to do a fish less cycle for about 1-2 weeks (I think) after you put in your sand and live rock, and the tank is filled with saltwater.

I think I will take my time and not rush anything with this tank. As excited as I am to get everything up and running I may wait until my next days off, 8/18, to even get it set up.
I say that but I'm sure I'll have it up sooner.
How long can I let a batch of saltwater sit in the tank b

Before I add LR and start the cycling process?
Sorry, the app doesn't like fat fingers. Lol.
