After having a good many items just sitting around for 7-8 years, including 90 gallon tank with stand and canopy, and Pukani rock, I am FINALLY actually getting things moving on my first reef tank. Long story but I had to postpone many times.
Over last few weeks I cured rock and it’s sitting in sun for about a week to make sure all chlorine gasses off. Then I will start the rock cycle process in tank.
I was very surprised at all the gunk and yuk that was hidden in the Pukani. There was also over an inch of sand in the bottom of bin I used for soaking.
I fortunately have a well experienced person that is helping me get it set up soon.

Here are a few pictures.

Congratulations on the new tank build!
 
Glad you’re pulling that tank out. That rock is too nice not to use.

@MrWheelock was right, and funny. I can’t say how many pix I wish I had.

Maybe start a build thread under member tanks so we can follow and score that sweet build badge.
 
beautiful tank
 
Don't be like me and put it off for 2 years and lose almost all the photos! Good looking rocks, ill be following along.

I should have taken a picture of all the gunk that came out when I soaked the rocks. I knew I would get stuff out of it but had no idea it would be THAT nasty. I’m so glad I took advice and did that. That will cut weeks, if not longer, on getting tank up and running.
 
Awesome tank! Looking forward to seeing it come alive. Will you be creating a build thread in the "Members Tanks" forum? I highly recommend it.

I made a new posting, hopefully in the correct forum area. :)
