Welcome to the forum. Are you going to put sand in the salt tank? Also I think if you add live rock to the system it speeds up the cycle process. I've only been doing salt I think 2 months so we both will be learning lol. Got any plans for fish?

Hello and welcome to the group, many of our members keep salt water tanks so you have plenty of help.
Just a little suggestion PLEASE DON'T USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS because on most internet forums this is equal to shouting at people.
I'm not much of a saltwater fish keeper but I do know the basic things and I'm always ready to look something up if I have to. Feel free to ask me for help if you need it.
