[Socialrainxl41]

im starting pico 5 gallon saltwater tank, which is 1 month cycling, i have a live rock and live sand. i placed my 60 gallon fresh water tank that been 3 years filter to process the biological/bacteria. i have done 10-20 percent water changes between 2 weeks. Also been pouring seed-aquavitr product to build up bacteria. Now my question is how to start and when is the right time to place fishes and corals? i dont have experience in salt water but im willing to learn. Thanks
