Twin 54 Gallon Reef tank build

[big ole blue]

:wave: So apparently when you purchase a 10 gallon starter kit you realize that this isn't enough. You then might upgrade to say... a 55 gallon. That's when I realized the 55 gallon wasn't enough. It's a freshwater community at full capacity and just isn't quite satisfying the itch so to speak. Which is why I just purchased two 54 gallon corner tanks and even managed to convince the wife to let me set them up in the dining room! That being said, we are nearly complete with remodeling the dining room and I've started building custom stands for the tanks. I will be posting pictures of my progress and will more than likely be asking a million questions. I expect this build to be completed and introducing my first fish in the spring of 2014 (Work Permitting :frusty:)

First set of questions...

1. Could one speed the "Curing Process" of Rock up by adding a few chunks of already cured live rock?
2. How much should I add?
According to research, I'd need approximately 60 to 80 lbs of rock total. Is this accurate?

Is anyone available to answer some questions? See above...
