I usually put some cured liverock into my hyposalinity tank so that keep ammonia at bay and I use a small HOT magnum filter with a micron filter to help filter out any parasites that could be free floating.
That way I never have any ammonia, the fish are happy because they have liverock to hide in, so everything goes smooth.
I don't put any sand, just liverock. Usually there is no cycle if the liverock is cured, but you can keep some Prime in case there would be some. I test for ammonia each day.
the size of the tank is dependant on the size of your fish. Be reasonable about this. If the fish is 10" then you will probably need a 30 gallons or more. If you have 10 large fish, then you will need more, maybe 50 gallons.
