looks good but will most likely change when you add rock depending if its cured or not.

I'd bring your salinity up to at least 1.025 but 1.026
Make sure you have test kits for Ammonia and Nitrite as you want to make sure your tank is cycled and the rock will help with that.

ok this kinda goes along with it but....
Flow is important to, I know this but how much should I have? right now I have 2 power heads that pump out 180 gph combined, but I also have an AC fuge that pumps out 200 - 250 gph will this be enough for having the tank?

and thanks reggae I will get right on that!

a good pump for a 10 gallon is a maxijet 900 imo.

lol k, but i have a 20 L lol? i have an estamated 320-420 gph flow...will this do or what do you think?

I didn't know what size tank you were going with. I'd personally go with 1.025 instead of 1.026 that way if you're not able to top off for some reason you'll have a bit more leaway.
