Get ready to be patient. And then wait some more. There is nothing instant about saltwater comparatively to freshwater.

I grow and breed discus and angels (well not ME literally, but rather the beautiful scaly creatures) in planted tanks and that is a piece of cake compared to aging and maintaining a saltwater unit.

Invest in liverock if you can afford it. It is amazing and the capacities of bioload increase dramatically. As for sand, I tried a DSB but prefer a BBT for controlling silicate/algae exposure.

+1 to the lights, skimmer and sump for filtration.
