Well, we tried, but we have our first loss of the tank. Wait! You don't have anything in the tank yet except for rocks and water. Well, that's right. We lost our rock.
When we first got all of our 'stuff' for the tank, we also got our live rock. When we got home that evening, putting the tank together was just taking too long and we put saltwater solution into buckets and put the rock in there with our fingers crossed and within the next day we did our best to get it into our tank the best we could.
Try as we might, the live rock did not make it. No problem though - we'll just get some more. The tank is currently cycling water, we know the sump is working (albeit a bit louder than I like and I'm going to try and fix that sometime soon with perhaps a new return pump).
This week we will be picking up new live rock and introducing it to our tank and hopefully by next week we will be seeing our ammonia spiking through the roof letting us know we are well on our way.
