I just upgraded last week from a 75 gal to an AGA 210. We used all my rock plus another 100lbs and 4 bags arag alive sand. So far I see nothing that was detrimental to any fish or coral. I have a bubble tip anenome, moon coral, candycane, brain, three different leathers, lots of frogspawn,and a large montipora capricornus. The salt was mixed with tap water,at 78 degrees. All is well.
