Think 80lbs of sand will be enough for a 180? Especially if I'm doing coral?

Sandbed calculator shows 210 lbs for a 3 inch bed. 140 lbs for a 2 inch and 80 for a one inch.

When I got my rock from saltwaterfish.com, I cured it for about 2 and a half weeks. Just treat it like you are cycling a new tank, its how I looked at it. Since this has been dry for a month I'd think it would take about the same time.
