Returning with a 360g (96x36x24) w/fishroom

if it is all the dry rock from BRS and hasn't seen a tank yet, then there is no need to dip/bath in muriatic acid. I would, however, throw them in a tub, with a couple pumps, and a skimmer to pull some of the junk off them. When I built my last tank using 100% of this type of rock, I did this and my skimmer pulled a bit of gunk out
 
Got a bit of more work done this past couple weeks. Completed the sump build. Made of 3/4" plywood with 2x3's on the outside for support. Glued in some FRP panels to waterproof the walls. then sealed up the seam with some RTV 108. It holds about 110g of water. should give me plenty of working room in the stand. Though the current plan is to pretty much have only the drain, skimmer, heaters and probes located in it.

Here's a couple of pics of it here. Still to have to glue in the bubble trap baffles on the return side. Sorry didn't get any pics of it during construction. I onlt got a few hours a week to work on it. Oh the joys of life and other hobbies.
