Update:

Rock, sand, salt, pumps, and a light are all in. Planning to start the cycle on Saturday night.

I used 130 lbs of reefcleaners rock.
140 lbs of Marco Bahama sand

Definitely wash that sand out if you get it. I did and haven't seen any cloudy dust issues. Was worth the few hours it took. It looks tan in the pictures, but with the lights on it looks white and pretty nice.

Reefcleaners was great customer service. The rocks look good in the tank. I'll probably supplement it with some pukani or some local fish store live rock later to bring me closer to 1lb/gallon of rock.

I've done a power outage test, and will probably do one more after I reduce the volume some. Forgot that adding salt would contribute to volume [emoji53]. Tanks at 1.027sg right now. Will bring it down to 1.026 by time cycle is done.
