Initial tank "jump start" water additive

[jastonataquapro]

OK, my tank has been filled for 5 days with half DI water, half filtered/dechlorinated water, now the sand added a few days ago and finally cleared, plumbing has been changed a little (sorry still no pics) and now I'm growing impatient.

Is it worth it to go out and buy one of those water conditioners for new tanks to "jump start" things? Can anyone recommend one? I'd like to start adding:
live sand, live rock (looking for some btw) and a hardy cleaner crew (recomendations gladly accepted).

better yet, find someone willing to give you some tank water from their setup :D

LOL.. Yea Derek!

But Jason, If you are looking.. I could supply some tank water.. the tank has been up for 18 months.

moved around a bit.. But nice and stable.. if you can get some Jugs.. ( like the 5 gallon ones you get from the store when you leave the 10$ deposit.. ) then i could give you 10gs..

Hey, I'm still selling 150+ pounds of live sand. If you add some to your set-up it will speed up the tank cycling.

I also have 15 pounds of small fist size live rock, I'll sell for 30 bucks ($2.50/pound) They are good rocks, just small.
