This provides the best chance of keeping as much alive on the rock as possible.

I am awaiting delivery of my first tank I hadn't considered the stink factor that I might encounter. This tank will be placed in the living room so it is paramount that I minimize the stink.
It seems to me that part of the fun of stating a new tank with new LR is discovering the hitch hikers that arrive. So curing in a dark place could actually kill more hitch hikers and create more stink.
I will be ordering LR from the Lower Mainland. How often do the main suppliers receive new LR that has been out of the ocean for a very short time?
To cut down on stink how will this proposal work:
- Order new live rock
- Add bioballs to help speed up the curing process
- Light the tank to keep hitchhiking corals etc alive
- Very frequent water changes
- Buy flowers
