First saltwater tank

[jromero101]

Hi all I’m super new to the hobby and joined the forum because I feel like I’m going to learn a lot on here but I just set up my first saltwater tank the Fluval eco 13.5 and wanted to see how I did?

Hello and welcome, your off to a great start

Thank you I had a quick question though, I just put in live sand and dry rock and the person who helped me at the fish store told me to add fritz booster only with fish should I keep it as is?

 

[40g Nano]

what is fritz booster exactly?

 

[jromero101]

FritzZyme Turbo start is live nitrifying bacteria

Oh, turbo start. You don't need to wait, but is the tank cycling yet? If do, how are you doing it?

 

[jromero101]

I just added dry rock and Carib sea live sand Fiji pink and saltwater and that is basically it

you can start to add some food into the tank, and watch for an ammonia spike, then nitrite, then nitrate. After that, you can add a fish. Adding the turbo start now will quicken your cycle
