    Hi, I would like to ask a few questions ,please advice me what should I do? 

    1) What water should I use for new setup tank? Direct tap water mix with salt?  Or some other things? 

    2)How long do I need to cycle a tank with dead dry rocks? 

    3)I want to keep SPS ,for a newbie is it advisable?  

    Thanks again for everyone help ,havent kept marine since the past 10 years

    1. Advisable to use rodi for less issues in the future. If tank is not big, u can purchase distil water (Not mineral water) grom ntuc to mix. As for salt mix, I find red sea blue tub value for money.

    2. Dead dry rock may take longer to fully cycle - 2 to 3 months. Pls dont cycle with live fish. Drop a pc of prawn or add bottled ammonia and dose bacteria. Check for ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and low nitrate to see if yr tank is cycled.

    3. There are some easy SPS - monti, digitata, birdnest, pocci and stylo that a newbie can try. But best to do it when tank is at least 6 months old. U can start with corals that can go with SPS - zoas, cloves, torch, etc and if they grow well and healthy, then jump into the easy Sps. And subsequently acros.

    Ssc generally requires a stronger light to keep it happy and bring out the colour. May turn brown if i sufficient light. May want to consider getting a pre owned lights, some gg at good prices now. 

    I am dosing red sea alk calcium and mag. Acropower for amino for sps
