Once you fill the tank you may want to pickup some pieces of LR to help seed your tank and speed up the cycle. The power heads and return pump will provide your total flow and it all depends on what kind of corals you will be keeping.

Went to setup my RO/DI unit last night... turns out it's more complicated than I thought and I will have to make a trip to the hardware store on the weekend.

Thanks for the offer. I am a bit short on cash right now, but if it's still available in a month or so I would take you up on that.

So yesterday I got the tank filled and everything running. Added my salt and now I am just waiting for it all to dissolve and for the cloudiness to go away.
In my excitement of setting everything up I may have forgot to rinse the live rock... oops! So a bit cloudier than it needed to be. Everything seems to be running fine, no leaks and it's pretty quiet. I have been having trouble with one of my power heads running loud. I took it apart and cleaned it and it was good for a few hours, but slowly has been getting louder. When I get home from work I will see if the tank has got up to temperature and then make sure the salinity is correct. Then I can start cycling! Usually for cycling the tank I use fish food, but since I'm out of fish food I was thinking of trying the pure ammonia method. Anyone tried that does it work better, worse, the same?
