Solid plan. Keep us posted. Oh, and if you're using frozen, rinse it in a net first. Reef Frenzy's got extra juices that spike nutrients.

One last thing—if your rocks are leaching, consider a short blackout. 3 days max, with a blanket over the tank. Corals will bounce back, but algae hates it. Just keep an eye on oxygen levels.
