New Nano Cube DX 12

[hugo121175]

I bought a Nano Cube DX 12 about a week ago. Last night I mixed 15 gallons of water using Instant Ocean. This morning I added the water to the tank along with 20lbs of live sand. I now have a salinity of 1.022. How long should I wait before adding live rock to the tank?

Ok, now how long after that should I wait before adding fish to the tank. I was just going to add a cleaning crew, and a couple of clowns

i would raise the SG to 1.025 if you plan on having it reef

OK, thanks! I just don't want to kill off any fish. Should I put in the cleaning crew any earlier, or wiat until there are fish in the tank?

dont add anything until the tank has cycled, if you do it will just die.. but once your cycle is done add your CUC then a week or so later a fish and easy care coral
