I’ve got my DT currently in a hyposalinity treatment and all my corals and rock structure was removed.

The corals are in a qt and the dry rock structure was cleaned, sanitized, rinsed and currently spending time in the sun. Im currently mixing some saltwater to place the rock structure in for 3-4 weeks while the hypo finishes.

The question for this thread is would there be any benefit in raising the DKH and calcium levels in the curing tank and add some live rock with coralline to try and jump start the coralline process before moving things back into the display down the road?
 
unless you're gonna have them in the curing tank for weeks with flow and lighting, I don't think it's worth the effort. Coralline needs lighting to grow.
