yup, good chance to start over, box of rock, let it mature, then slowly add a coral here and a coral there.

I always wonder about upgrading tanks myself. we get a bunch of new rock and then we move the old tank to the new one overnight and nothing is matured... not sure if it is a issue but I wonder how many problems are caused this way.

Unfortunately you can't. Buying a box means the LFS just transfers the box to you on shipping day. Ideally anyway. However, I've received very few rocks that I didn't like or couldn't use in a build. J&L usually has really good rock.

J&L is 6/lb @ 50lbs per box. That's 300, not 440. Shipping on a bus should be under 50 bucks
