So I have had many reef tanks in the past, but none in the last 10 years or so. Over that time technology and availability have sure changed. Just moved into new home and have a 40" wide space for a new tank. I was thinking of going with a Red Sea E-max 260 (69 gal complete set-up). I'm about 2 months out from being ready to purchase so I have been accumulating supplies.
Since I have plenty of time, wanted to do things right from the start. For cost reasons I was thinking of picking up about 50 lbs or so of reef saver dry rock from BRS. My plan was to put in a brute can in the garage for a couple of months with a pump and heater to let it leach everything out. This would allow it to be close to ready in 2 months when I order the tank.
What do you guys think? Should I pick up a couple of live rocks locally and add to the can now? Do it in a few weeks? Scrap the whole idea and do it another way?
Thanks,
