Drop it dry and arrange your rock, then pour your saltwater over a plate or something else flat to prevent the sand from clouding everything. Dont worry if it gets all sandstormy though, It'll clear up overnight.

Invest in a good test kit! Take your time to let the tank cycle and then take it even slower when you add livestock.

Other than that, welcome to the addiction! Haha!
