For the ammonia: Either dump in some cheap fish to get it dirty, or just dump in ammonia (best for saltwater). You need to build up bacteria in the tank. Personally, i would just dump some common ammonia in there, and let it run for a couple weeks.
That is how you cycle your tank. If you don't do it, not a single specimin will survive.
Dump ammonia..........then do 20% water changes weekly.
well, i bought 45 gallons of pre-made water from the place, but they told me to wait a week or so to make sure all the levels stabilized from the gravel & decorations before adding any fish....that & i about shot my budget this check on what i got now
