I would really look into cleaning the dry rock in some vinegar or (acid) and then maybe curing in a Tupperware in some heated saltwater help with phosphates and other biofilm and stuff that comes on the dry rock there are lots of people who run into algae problems using strict dry rock
Most goes away with time but its nice if it can run threw that cycle in the Tupperware container than in the tank. And your probably still collecting and planning and getting everything ready for set up anyway.
Just my 2 cents I had really good luck doing this with my 125 set up using mostly dry rock
