Newwwww

Hey everyone I'm new to saltwater and just need advice on equipment to use, cycling procedures and any other useful information that you guys can give to a complete newbie.
Tank Stats:
2 inches of live sand
8lbs of live rock
Roughly 8lbs "dead" rock
One power head
Whisper filter 20 gallon
Plans: I really don't plan on corals but later on I would like to have some anemones maybe when I upgrade tank size. My main reason for the 20 gallon setup is for a single peacock mantis shrimp. Yes I know the hazards and all information on this creature so I just need info on proper care,equipment, etc of a saltwater habitat

I just setup this 20 and it is about a week into just sitting there. After I learn how to manage the tank I want to convert my freshwater 55 to salt. Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tommy

Welcome to RC there is a wealth of knowlege here. I was all set to rush into a bigger tank. But after reading and learning. I am being patient. So that I get the right equipment the first time. Next time.
