I had emailed Richard but realized he may be busy getting my future rock! 
...and thought why not ask in this incredible forum? I apologize in advance if I've posted this in the wrong place or if this question has been answered.
I have been keeping a reef tank for almost 2 years now (coral life 150MH,Acua C remora, approx 30-40 lbs of live rock, 1 clown, 1 serpent star, 6 purple colt, 1 capnella, 1 xenia colony and several red a green mushroom, about a doz blue leg hermits, 3 astrea snails). I'm getting ready to move to my new home and thought it a good time to upgrade my tank. I have been reading a great deal about TBS rock (all great). I intended on ordering about 50lbs of rock and 25 lbs of sand, I'm not thinking the a 25 - 30 gal package will be the way I go. I intend on doing this withing a few weeks of moving to the new house and my animals into a 55gal tank.
Sorry for the longwindedness but I don't know what i don't know and it's making my question (that i haven't asked yet) inefficient. Ok here goes....
Would it be advisable to cycle the live rock in a separate tupperware tub? I'd hate to cause harm to any of my animals. Would I get two shipments? I will read more on Reef Central but thought to myself that you seem very intent on making the experience a good one for your customers and I don't want my ignorance to cause any misteps on my part.
Thanks.
