Hi Bora and :welcome to Nanotank!

If you just started the tank today, then it'll be another six weeks (give or take) before you can safely add any inhibitants. You'll want your tank to be completely cycled.

What supplies have you gotten already?

& :welcome to the hobby!

:mrgreen:

:welcome: to the board.
Like already mentioned you have a fairly long wait before the tank is suitable for adding fish so you have plenty of time to learn more about saltwater fish keeping. You should get a set of basic test kits (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) for starters. You will not need to light your tank during cycling as this will only promote the growth of nuisance algaes. Do you have any kind of filter? If you are planning on only using the live rock as your filter then you will need something for water circulation like a powerhead. What kind of tank and size did you set up?

With the nano that you have it already has a built in filtration system that also helps the tank with circulation, I thought you may have had a standard 29 gallon aquarium. This should help with some of the language you didn'y understand- http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23 , if there is still some things giving you problems post and we'll see if we can help you understand things.
