Ty!
Update
Just bought the base rock, should be here the 24th. That means I can have the water and rock in a day before and I shouldn't have any dieoff on my live rock on the 25th!!

I'll check it out!
My water is really cloudy an it's been about 2-1/2 hours.. Suggestions? I got a heater and pump moving the surface so it doesn't get stagnant.

If its the sand, it won't settle for like a total of 24 hours.

Yeah some people who don't rinse there gravel wait 48 hours before its all settled:/ I would just let it sit for now until all the sand settles, but when you start cycling you'll need the powerheads.
