I'm in the process of ordering all the equipment to set up my 46 bowfront. I filled it with tap water last night to make sure it didn't leak - so far so good!!! Anyway, I haven't decided for sure on lights yet. If I get the rest of the stuff in before I have my lights, can I start cycling the...

I can ask. Is there a test kit you can buy to test for copper?

No, it was used as a freshwater tank before.

And I'll probably just stick with soft corals. I'll upgrade lighting later if I change my mind. THANKS!

Thanks! I was thinking I had read that crushed coral was not a good idea. I may try to go look at the tank and see what he has as far as equipment and live rocks. If there is quite a bit of live rock in there, and the tank, etc. is in good shape, the tank, stand and rock alone should be worth...

I've decided I want to try to get a saltwater tank up and going and have been trying to research everything. Want to get about a 55 gallon, and had planned on probably using live sand and live rock to start out and get everything cycled. I ran across an ad for a 55 gallon tank with stand already...
