Startup Tank Water Question!

[schwimmair]

Hi, I am starting a Biocube 29 G on Saturday. I am buying it used from a buddy. It has 50 lbs. of Tonga with it. Should I use tap water and salt mix to start out the tank or stop by an aquarium store that sells salt water?

Thanks for helping!

Nevar use tap water. Use ocean water or RO/DI salt water.

+1. RO/DI only or purchase the water premixed from your LFS. It's already buffered and ready to go.
