Thats a lot of rock to be mixing in with your 150lbs, if it was only 40 or 50 I'd say go for it but....
Actually the 100 pounds in the tank came from Red coral and has been kept in a rubbermaid with SW heater and powerhead for the past 6 months. I've had that 100 pounds in the display for a week now and tested everything and got 0 readings. Seems like the rock is cycled but even I was shocked that ammonia nitrite and nitrate was all at 0. However I'm sure when he moves his rock up it will cause a spike or mini cycle of some sort. Then we still have to scape it and add sand

get yourself a power inverter to keep the rock warm and power head running while transporting or find someone who has one and borrow it. it may help keep it stable.
