I`m new

I'm new to sw tanks. I was able to get a 24 gal Cardiff tank with a bunch of extras. I have a friend that really got me interested in this and introduced me to this web site. I'm almost ready to start up, all I have left to get is salt and live rock. I'm sure I'll be on a few times asking random questions.

 

I should throw out I'm in search of live rock in or around the Fort Dodge area.

 

I bought some dry rock today! Saturday I will be setting up my tank finally, thanks to reefs4me showing me the ropes.

 

Just hooked up the light and had to try it out. Still waiting for my tank to cycle. Nitrates and Nitrates are topped out again, good thing I head out for vacation this week.

 

The setup I purchased also came with a reefkeeper lite 2 pc4's and a ph checker. I have been trying to set it up to how I'm going to use it aka not using the auto top off. I am having no luck when I follow the instructions and connect each piece to myreef 2.0 and choose to program it simply says programing complete. I am near the end of cycling my tank but before I put any alive thing in it I want to make sure it's running correctly. Does anyone know where I can find a better guide to set this up? The one they provide has not worked well so far
