Hey everyone!

I have recently been looking at another fish tank for my room and got osme quotes from the LFS. I put down a deposit a few weeks ago on an Aquavital 980 tank that has been customised for saltwater with a sump, protein skimmer, pump and an inbuilt overflow. Im very excited about it an am already planning what im gunna stock it with. Im going to be able to pay it fully off and pick it up this coming sunday but I have a few questions that id like to ask you guys:

- When i buy it and place it where its going to be suitated, should i buy the LR the same time I get the tank and the mixes for the salt water? Or can i just get say $100 worth and then more later on? (LR is $13.50 a KG)

- How long should i leave it with the LR, Argonite sand to cycle before addign anything? Can i throw a Chroim or 2 in there or will they die?

Thanks for the help!!
