Need Advise On New Salt Water Tank

[milindsaraswala]

Actually I am familiar with planted fresh water tank.I am maintaining from last 2 years successfully. Now trying to start with another small 10 gallon slat water tank.I am really very new to it and very confuse about it. I have lots of question, Sorry I will ask lot things.
First of all

1. what all things I will need beside it.
2. Should I do Cycling without putting salt into water or I have to do with salt into water
3. how salt should in my 10 gallon water
4. what gravel I should use

I need lots of advice and I am very dumb for salt water tank. I want to put coral reef,live stones and fish. help me please.

hi
Im only a beginer myself and asked al the same questions

10 gallon is very small and the smaller the tank is the harder it is to maintain a decent quality of water

use coral/aragonite sand
cycle with your RO salt water and live rock in the tank
