I have a salt water 210 gal tank Everything is ready now. I'm adding the salt water now. What order should the BIO balls ,live sand and live rock. Or can I just add them all at once?
Also, What's the best way to kick off the cycle, or will the live rock do it?
Thanks

i would not use the bio balls.
as for the sand and rock i would do the rock first setting it down on the glass then add the sand.
i would have also done this with only alittle water in the tank so you can get the sand all around the rock eaiser since when the sand is placed in the water will cloud up a bit..

This is a fish only tank, not a reef. I'm told bio balls are fine for a FO tank but not a reef.
