Reefing newb
I'm about to fill up my 55 and I was wondering if it would be better to start out with real sea water or make it in a bucket.. I have a boat and I live by the water so I can very easily head out a mile or two into the open ocean and pump some water up into a couple garbage cans and bring them home.. And also, could I go out to a reef and collect my own sand and put that in my tank or should I just buy it from a fish store.. I plan to let my tank cycle for a few months before adding any life anyways..
