Welcome to the forum! You are just going through that early stage of UGLIES... not to worry though!

Glad to have you here, get lost and find some great info!

Welcome to R2R and the wonderful folks, information and help.
Patience, it is the big word around here, Reefing is patience to cycle, to watch things grow, to keep your tank balanced.
I recommend to everyone joining to create a tank build thread.
1. You get to see where you have started and how much you have grown in this hobby.
2. We love pictures and to see what your doing with your tank.
3. It’s a great learning tool for all of us to see what works and doesn’t . We learn great stuff from each other.
Lastly the only bad question here is the one not asked...

No I have nothing in there but sand, I took out the rocks because they were the wrong ones, I haven’t even added cleaners turbos etc, my question is, WHAT CLEANERS ARE GOOD AND HARDY TO START OUT WITH? I need to order live rock and some sand, but I have black and white aqua terra sand in there now, nothing else

I would wait for the rock and sand before you start adding fish. This is a great time for you to do research on what kind of fish you would like to get. It's also a good time to decide where you want to go with the tank. Take your time and research while you wait.

Also you are going to see a ton of life on the live rock. There will probably be some hitchhikers too. You will need to deal with those. Once everything starts to calm down and you get all the hitchhikers out then you will be ready for fish, and if you have done your homework you will know what to get.
