Hello All!
This is my first of many posts I hope. I am just getting started in this hobby and I am very excited. I am planning to get a nano reef tank going here soon. Today I am picking up a 20 Gal tank which is very lightly used. The owner used it for only a month and had a healthy reef in there.
He is including the live sand, but no other livestock. I plan to pickup some live rock soon (next couple weeks), but in the meantime I already have picked up RODI water from my LFS and have my salt and refractometer ready to go. I was planning on getting the water in the tank tonight with the live sand, and adding the rock later.
What I am wondering is, will the cycling start with only live sand? If so, what effect will adding the live rock later have? I apologize for the rudimentary question. I have spent a lot of time researching, but I have a lot to learn still.
Thanks!
