New to the hobby. Few questions

[RichKlit]

Hello everyone,

Great site!! I'm brand new to the SW reef tank hobby and I just bought a 14 gallon biocube that was set up for SW, and I have a few questions if someone with more knowledge wouldn't mind helping?

1. The tank came with fake rock the guy didn't know what kind but said they were version 2.1. They are kinda purple and look pretty good. My question is can I mix them with live rock? I want to get the whole biodiversity with live rock? Or should it be only live rock or all fake rock? Also where can I get live rock?

2. The tank came with 1 to 1 1/2 inches of sand. Is this enough? Should I take it out and buy new stuff? Or just leave it alone?

3. Once the tank is cycled what should I add first? Fish, shrimp, snails, corals?

4. Should I clean the whole thing inside and out before I start setting it up? If so what should I use to clean it?

Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated.
