hello everyone!

Today i setup a 2 foot, 80 litre tank, firstly i added my coral sand, 100 watt heater, 1000litre filter and i added the water by using a hose to fill the tank then i used Prime to declorinate the water, then i mixed my salt into a bucket of water from the tank and put it back into the my tank, then i put 8kg of live rock in there with a powerhead and last of all a hydrometer! Now i have everything turned on and going fine! btw i plan to put a pair of clown fish in there to breed

my questions are:
what should my temp be? when cycling? and after?
how long should i leave my tank before adding clownfish?

What else do i need to know? as i am new to marines!

cheers damo

Hey there and welcome!

If you're working on setting up a FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) type aquarium, I would definitely browse though this link.

It should help you a ton with your questions.
