Expert Answer

First put the live rock in seawater and gently brush off dead organisms without harming the bacteria. Place it in the tank with RO or pure water salted to about 1.025.

During cycling keep the skimmer, pump, and flow running, give over 15 hours of light daily at about 25°C; a light brown algae film appears in two to five days and begins to whiten by 15 to 30 days.
