I now have a 20 gallon aquarium filled with saltwater with dry rock. The filter I bought is way to big so I'm going to get a standard filter from walmart for now. What should I be doing now? I know It needs to cycle but is there anything I should be doing or getting.
 
I'm afraid you're in the waiting game now. You'll want to make sure it's fully cycled before adding livestock. While you wait, you can continue researching what you want in the tank.
 
Not sure if you already have the following:
  • Basic test kits
  • Powerhead/Circulation Pump
  • Refractrometer
  • Heater
 
It has a heater in it but no circulation pump and I do need a refractometer and test kits. What should I be testing for exactly?
