    I was able to get enough Salt Water and I get the heater running to get the water to the temperature it should be.

    I will run my test and I will post them as soon as I can.
    I have plenty of live rock. I would say about 30lbs but that is just a guess.
    I don't believe to have any issues with algae.
    I will take pictures and post them as soon as I can.

    Thanks

    as a point of reference, I have about 90-100lbs of rock in my 55 gallon. I used dry dead "base rock" for most of it that became Live Rock naturally in the tank.

    So "plenty" is maybe subjective. For a reef tank, I would recommend 1-2lbs per gallon...

    ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Home this place has a great selection of cheap dry base rock.
