After being in the hobby for 11 years and out for the past 4, I am finally back in and working on a 125g build. This site has been awesome for all those years and I really appreciate all the help you guys have given me in the past. Today, I purchased an established setup which included 150lb of LR and an approximately a 4 inch sand bed (4 full 5g buckets). I need to store the LR and sand (debating whether to keep and clean or toss). I definitely want to save the LR. I need about a week to finish the stand and clean the tank and 60g sump. I put the liverock in two tubs submerged in the former tank water with powerheads in each.

My questions are:
1) Will this suffice for a week or two?
2) Do I need a heater in both tubs? Temp is about 60F outside.
3) Any other recommendations for the LR storage? Light or no light?
4) I am leaning towards thoroughly cleaning the sand but I'm not sure. There is definitely detritus especially in the sand from the sump/fuge.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
