Yeah i basically got way to excited and way to impatient to be completely honest. I did a little research but mostly what my LSF guys told me. Seems like what they told me will be fine is like the opposite of what else i am hearing. With the fish and inverts in their will it speed up the process of cycling or will it go the same now?? I actually dont think its live sand after all due to it just being inside of a dry container. Doesn't live sand have to stay in water. I have 7.5 lbs of live rock in my tank. It is a ten gallon tank. What type of lighting would also be needed with this type of tank??
