Starting up a 14 G Nano tank - Don't have it as of yet!

[imfsub12]

Ok I will start to post my stuff in here now..
Getting some great advice from you fellow members.. thanks..
1. I know i have to get all my stuff
2. been reading that most tank owners have a quarantine tank would i need one for a 14 gallon tank... as i live in an apt.. and not much room..
3. Do you need a fancy stand or could you put it on a coffee table that we got from IKEA?
4. Live sand or crushed coral?
5. with the 14 gallon BioCube from ocean does it come with EVERYTHING..
Sorry for the double post's...

2. quarantine tanks are always good to have, but I don't have one.
3. as long is it's sturdy and able to hold a lot of weight... Ikea furniture isn't the greatest quality, so I would be careful. I currently have mine on top of my Ikea dresser.
4. live sand
5. it comes with everything you need to start a reef... just add water, sand and live rock!

3. There is a weight factor...60 pounds in water, plus another 40 pounds in sand / rock.
5. A heater (7" to 9" long) is the only thing the BioCubes don't come with.
