Thanks for the quick response Dana! It’s amazing what an experienced reefer can create . I’ll be carefully reviewing your build if I ever have the the chance to do a bigger tank.

Here's a picture of the Rubbermaid tub used to cure the live rock. Forgot to mention I had a protein skimmer in the tub while the rock cured. It pulled out an amazing amount of crud for the first few weeks. Again, rock was cure in darkness - if done in the light, excessive nutrients would have caused an undesirable algal bloom.

If you don’t mind me asking where did you get the rock. Saw Florida live rock but wondering the exact source.
