Default 12 - Gallon Nano Cube... New at this, want a good

Hi all

I am new to marine aquariums, and I just recently purchased a Nano Cube (http://www.thehiddenreef.com/Picture..._nanocube1.jpg)

Anyways, I mixed the salt and poured it on Saturday. After about 24 hrs of filtering, I added sand and living rock. The pet store told me thats all I can have for about a week, and then maybe throw a crab in there.

Then in another week or so I can get some cool looking fish. In the meantime, I have some questions:

1) How long should I keep the light on during the day?

2) I have about 3 lbs of living rock (and little feathery finger things living on them), will this speed up the waiting process?

3) When do I add/change the water? Its already starting to drop a little, and there is a foamy residue at the top of the water line.

4) I dumped a whole thing of sand in the bottom, and to make it look cool the sand is uneven, with kindof a slope coming down from the back right corner. The slope is about 2.5 inches high, and the rest is 1 inch or below... is this going to cause problems if the sand is too dense in some areas?

Any and all feedback is appreciated! I'm most interested in when I can get some fish in there! *[smiley=drummer.gif]
