Hey Guys, new to salt water and have a super easy question. Switched my 55g tank over the weekend to salt and 40lbs of live sand. been running well, water finally cleared up. I have tested my water and all seems to be where it is supposed to be as far as nitrates, nitrites and ammonia. The local aquarium shop said that I should put about 8 chromis in the tank to help with the cycle. You guys are all saying about 2 weeks before putting fish in. Help!! Also, I have a UV sterilizer plumbed in from when I was running fresh. When can I turn it on and run it? One last question, I am wanting to get a new light. I just have cheapo light hoods (2 x 18") that came with my aquarium. But I dont want to spend alot of money. I was lloking at an Odyssea 48" light on ebay, will that be sufficient for whatever I may want to do. Dont know where I am going yet, but prolly some live rock and fish. Dont know about corals but would like some clams. Thanks.
