Hiiii :)

a 14 gal bio cube. I just have the salt and a bucket. ? do I need more

 

put the water and salt in the bucket and put a pump in it and leave it there for 24 hours

 

welcome to 3 reef, hope you enjoy your stay

 

what kind of pump should I get?

 

a cheap one, nothing special, All it does is mix and put oxygen in the water. and makes the ph raise on the water as well. Id suggest a small heater, a 5 gallon bucket, and a small pump (powerhead), (can find them around 15$) at a store. This way the water mixes, you can heat to to the same temp of the tank, and makes the tansition go smoother.

 

alright sweet... I have a heater so thats good, I'll get a small pump sounds easy enough. thanks a lot! this will be a lot easier than the way I have been doing it
