Having a 180g tank custom built, won't get it for 6 weeks or so. I was wondering if I got my LR now, it would be mostly cured by the time I got the tank. My question is, my garage is separate from the house, and it has no windows, so it is pitch black in it with doors closed, but I would guess it gets close to 90 degrees or above in July out there. If I was to try to cure my LR out there in big rubber tubs, would that do more harm than good? I could put some fans out there, but not going to do much more than that. Would I be better off just to cure it in my tank once I get it?

I did mine in the garage in S. Louisiana during the spring with out any problems. I don't remember an exact temp, but it was high it felt like bath water when I stuck my hand in. Overall, I didn't have any problems. I threw it into my tank and within 3 days everything (fish and corals (sps)) were all in the tank and I didn't have a single loss.
