Do saltwater tanks need light to cycle the first time when starting a tank. I only have live rock and sand so far, going with the filter and power head with Instant Ocean salt and my additives. Im looking at lighting online and want to know do i need it now, or can i want til i have more money >_>; I still want to add more rock. Which should i do first?????

I think it is a good idea to do all that first. I'd have done it before adding water. It can be added later if necessary.
