live sand

[SurfinC]

Im filling up my tank with RO/DI water right now and am about 3/4 of the way there. I have a 90 gallon DT with a 30 gallon sump. I know I have to add the salt and get the salinity right but do I need to have any of the other parameters of the water down to a Tee before I add my live sand? I have the carribsea aragalive

No, your on the right track.

So as soon as my salinity is right and the temp is right I can just throw the sand in there?

I don't want to kill any of the bacteria that's in the sand

 

[Reefing Madness]

Yup, you are correct. The bacteria in the sand will help cycle the tank to a degree.
