Ya know, just take things slow and steady. Do not rush anything. Patience is a virtue, especially in this hobby. Educate yourself on all aspects of reefing. It can be done while you are starting up, but it absolutely needs to be done. And it's just like a class. The studying I mean. And have fun. You'll dig it, man.

And Welcome to the community!
 
Welcome to R2R!

Get some rock “cooking” in buckets with some bacteria and some flow.

By the time your ready for water, you’ll have instant cycle and will reduce the ugly period.

Enjoy!

I was actually wondering if seeding the liferock with bacteria would make sense first. I was planning on building a larger aquascape first and placing in the tank in one piece before sand and water and dr. Tims to get the cycle going. What do you think?
