i just got it set up like 15 minutes ago. i only have 10# live sand so far. my lfs told me to wait a day so that all the sand is settled and the salinity is stable, and i trust them, they'll do anything to help you not just sell you things. ill be getting some live rock on thursday if my wallet allows but i already spent over $400 and i went with the 12 not the 24! ill try to post pics eventually but im not sure how.
