How many lbs of rock do you have? Do you have inverts? Do you have true live sand? If you only have rock, inverts and sand that came in a dry bag, then get a rubbemaid tub. Use your tank water, a powerhead, and a heater(not from your tank, you will need those). Remove your rock and inverts. You can perform hypo in your display. Do you have a refractometer?
