but if your water …
but if your water has evaporated, then only get r/o water (not salty r/o water) as the salt will remain in your tank and by adding salty r/o water will be bad. only add salty r/o water at the beginning of setting it up and then on water changes.

its clear seal filter but i wouldnt reccomend it .. i would say get an external canister filter if you dont have a sump there about £20 of ebay from hongkong or around $35 there handy cuz they take up no room in the tank and you can have easy access to it .. also make sure you have a skimmer

yes because if the …
yes because if the live rock is sitting on the sand the structure could collapse ruining your whole reef structure or falling onto the glass even breaking it, the sand acts as a kind of holder
