to the salty side

You have a tank of just under 13 uk gallons

So, at the least 7k is required to filter your tank

Next step will be to test yourwater for ammonia, you will get a spike, then nitrite, another spike, then nitrate - do a 50% water change, wait 24 hours, test water again then if nitrates below <10 you can get your cuc

If you haven't got an RO unit you can buy RO water cheaply enough from your lfs - however if you do not ever intend to keep corals you can use dechloranated tap water (but be warned, this is an addictive hobby and I expect you will want corals in the end)
