    Initial set up of a tank

    also, if I plan on mixing 30 gallons initially to start with in the tank, can I put the dry sand (not live) and dry rock into the tank, set it up how I want and then pour the RO/DI water into the tank and then mix the salt in?

    Using all Dry Rock and Dry Sand, I am definately doing the shrimp. One question, that purple algae (forgot the name) does that appear over time on the dry rock or must it be introduced?

    Ok, New to salt water aquariums and have done a bit of research and have decided to go with Dry Rock due to cost being cheaper for what you get and it will allow me some time to save up for some more stuff while I'm cycling.
