I reccomend getting some filter media from a friend or fishshops healthy
tank and putting it in your filter.
Salt swing can knock bacteria around.
You should also get ammonia/nitrite readings done on the tank water and
don't put anything in until ammonia and nitrite are zero.
Leave the filters running and just feed the empty tank fish food.
Maybe get some nice plants established, They will enjoy the ammonia
spikes
and use it to put down roots. You will also get a bit of algae build up
if
you have lights. This is good news if you want an algae eating cat as
once
you have a bit growing ya can introduce one and it will be right at home.


Thanks for this. Will do as suggested.
