wet/dry setup, did we do it right?

I read the article, I've been doing this for awhile, and would be concerned about a couple of things, SW doesn't seem to be the main focal point, a lot of speculation, the author, who wrote it, that's an awful lot of trust to me. It may be fine, I really don't know for sure, just like the author of the article. Also, yes it is easy to replace if deemed no good or leaching, but what is not easy is removing the contaminant from the rest of the system once it is in there. I am truly sorry for sounding like I'm killing everything here. I really want you to have success and not problems down the road. I'll stop being negative. You probably will be fine with the fish. If doing a reef with coral and other inverts, I would not use it in my reef, but that is me. I do hope it ends up just fine for you, and all of this is for not. Good luck

we've decided to take it out, I'll probably start working on it later today. Shouldn't be that hard and I will replace it with the smaller rocks from the dead live rock we have.

This is what it looks like this morning now that the water is all cleared up!

I'm not happy with how the rock looks in the tank, but I couldn't see what I was doing at all yesterday. I just wanted to get it in there since some of it still has purple bits. I'll be redoing it for sure. I'm going to look thru some of the pictures on here to get ideas about how to do it.
 
got any arrangement tips for me? flat rocks go where? rounder rocks where? branchy corral skeleton type rocks where? Thanks!

You could use some of the square'ish rocks as the backbone for the rock stack, then use the rounded ones and flat ones to build ledges and caves which allow fish and inverts to create their homes as some prefer to spend their time shielded from the lights in the tank.

by backbone, do you mean standing them upright?
