dont wash your rocks and snad in normal water you will kill mostly everything if not everything in it. if you want you could rinse the rocks in salt water before you add them into your tank to remove some of the die off but its not nesssary. just put salt water 1.024 in your tank, add the sand, and then add the rock and let it sit for a month and test for the proper parameters. also you will need to add your equipment, heaters, power heads, filters, skimmers, lights, etc. once you get it set up make a post about what to test for and then take it for there.
