    I'd guess less than 10 gallons to go!! I'm making some more water right now. I should have the sump and everything running early evening (oh gosh, I hope it works!!).

    I'm going to get 10-15 pounds of live rock. Hoping to pick it up today or this weekend! It's a bit expensive at my LFS, but it is great rock! All kinds of cool hitch hikers, coraline, all that good stuff.

    bet you can't wait. If its already cured, maybe your cycle will go quicker. you probably already know this, but if you drop a table shrimp in there, it should kick start things. just take it out after cycle.

    Yeah - it's totally cured, so I'm hoping my cycle will be a little quicker. The shrimp thing really grosses me out, but I'll probably do it - I know it would help!

    hey save your cash on the LR, just get a couple pounds of live sand and move that over will work just as quickly, just keep it all together and don't spread it out in the tank
    let it sit for a day or 2 and get temp stabilized then add a peice of shrimp cut up in a few peices all over the tank to feed the bacteria and it'll help it bloom
