Hi Everyone

I'm a newbie to the aquarium setting, although I did have a freshwater fish when I was younger this is obviously a very different game. I bought a 50 gallon tank ( I bought around 2-3 months) I have bought the following items.

Magnum 350 Filter with Biowheel
Seaclone Protein Skimmer
Megaflow Sump
CPS Siphon Overflow system ( I didn't have a predrilled system)
Elite heater
T5 Lighting System

Today I have put in the salt water and tested out all the equipment everything works beautifully, except the filter which I will look at it carefully. I am planning to buy live rock later this week and then maybe a couple of days later the sand substrate.. after that HOPEFULLY some fishes!! I still also have to buy my test kit and thermometer. If anyone has some tips for me let me know.

Shweta
P.S. How much live rock should I buy?
