Santa brought me a Nano Cube, im wanting to set up a marine reef, so far ive got coral sand, salt & hydrometer & heater, eager to get going, but do I really need to go to the expense of buying a Reverse Osmosis unit ? Any advice would be welcome

Endless possibilities with fish-keeping.
Cheers chaps...Perhaps if we add treated water to vodka...no hangover !!...garys suffering !! Bit confused with these reverse osmosis units, Im on a water meter at home, was advised to keep it running...will need a 2nd income at this rate. Gary I would love some of your water to get me going !!?? (how bad does that sound ha ha)
Thanks Gary...got the RO water in the tank...Got the salt levels right..eventually (its not easy). Just waiting for the shops to re-stock nano sized pieces of live rock. Then I will leave it a month to mature, then I can add some cretures ! it looks brill with the blue 'moon-glow' lights turned on
What you like.....got the moon glow lights on in a emty tank glad you sorted the salt levels out ann just need some rock then your half way there.
The shop is having a big delivery of marine stuff tomorrow ! I will be able to buy some Live rock (although im quite used to the emptly tank, the minimalist look, ) choosing some tomorrow and the shop will keep it for a week to 'cure' it, is that right ? (cure it ? what of) he says 5kg in a 12g tank should be enough.
He also pointed out a few reported problems with the Nano Cube..like flooding...when you put the (supplied) skimmer in place the levels drop in the rear chamber, mine been running (just water in it) with the blue moon effect lights on dont laugh) for a few days now, seems fine, managed to get one of the 'S' stands to put it on...looking good...for an empty tank !!
Ive now added the Live Rock in my nano (6kg approx on 12g tank), I now have something to look at instead of my empty tank ! Live rock, amazing amazing stuff ! Its been in the tank for 4 days now, the colour is changing with purple bits appearing everywhere (forgive me I know it has a name), theres alsorts of bits on it, I wonder if anything else will grow ?
Just waiting now...its a bit frustrating....waiting...but it will all be worth it in the end, meanwhile I have a few reef books to go through and a few shops to visit ! Think I will start with cleaners (shrimps & turbo snail). Anyone out there got any advice on what type of corals I should be putting in (soft ones I think ) ?
