Thanks.
A friend of mine who live on the man make canal, a very large part of the main canal that empty right into the bay. I put it right next to his boat dock.

I run the system with just fresh water for several weeks, to kill everything prior to put into the canal. I did not mean to run it for several weeks but due to time constrain this was what happened.

This was how I seeded my rock prior to set up my tank last two times. Back in the 1990's I live on the bay so I just put it in there next to my dock. I got tired of living on the corrosive salt water and got tired of paying for the tax so I sold the house and moved inland. If anybody have the opportunity to do this, I highly recommended it. My rocks was out of the water for total of about 1/2 hr. It did not even cycle.
