Hey folks! New to Reefing, and am digging it so much. I'm just now putting water in my 90g, I'll post some pics here soon.
It's a bit late to ask this but, I'm curing and cycling with dry live rock and no sand. Should I have put sand in on this first step to curing the live rock? Also, i'm gonna use the bio spira to help cycle, should this be used right away? or wait a few weeks after the Rock has cured. Thanx in advance =)

Sooner you put sand in, the sooner all that beneficial bacteria will grow in it. I don't have experience with the bio spira, I would follow the directions or google it, should be a lot of info on it.

Setup looking good! You'll love the shimmer of those kessils.
