the only time saved using base rock will be the 1 month to make and stabalize the rock.. depending on how you do it you might only have to cure it for 2 weeks but a month is average. the same aplies to dry live rock... If you have the time (say a month or a little longer) making your own rock has several advantages and is a lot cheaper.
