    I think you should glue some of them together, a few of them look to be really small, but I guess it really depends on the size of the others that you get.

    When are you adding the rock, and are you going to sterilize it first?
    Is it coming to you wet or dry?
    If you add the rock after the cycle, anything that is on the rock that can decay can cause another mini cycle.

    It would certainly be unusual for you to have calcium precipitating in this tank at this point, especially if you haven't added anything to cause the precipitation.
    Are you sure it isn't just a coating from when you put the sand bed in and were waiting for it to clear?
    There are a lot of chemicals in salt water but still it takes an imbalance of it's chemistry to cause any to precipitate.
