Getting closer. Tested last night nitrite and nitrate is rising. So it's cycling faster than expected.

Well good news.
I got a awesome deal today. Bought out a fellow reefer for $500 and ended up with 5-8k worth of zoas lol.
 
Nice score! What kind of sand did you use? Planning my build on the same tank, and trying to decide on sand grain size..
