![]() Hey guys,
I'm going to be starting a small 10gal at work in my office. It's all set up, however I'm just debating on what to do for liverock. Should I just go to a LFS and pick up some rock like I did with my 20gal? Or, should I order the nice white rock that BRS has??? What would you guys do in my shoes? Since it's a 10gal, I won't be able to get very much to help with algae, other than a basic cleanup crew. I'm going to keep this an LPS ans softie tank, which will be under the spare mazarra Maxspect LED's that I had laying around. |

![]() If you are talking about the Pukani rock from BRS I would talk to Eli who sells the same stuff from Calgary.
I personally like dry rock.

![]() I'm planning on getting mostly dry rock from Eli, then adding about 20% liverock from the LFS or a fellow can reefer.

![]() It really depends on what you want out of your aquarium.
If I was in your shoes, I would get a piece of the freshest live rock that I could find. I'm really interested in all the diversity that comes with it - so called "pests" and all. You can't get that on dead, dried, base rock.

![]() I'll have to talk to Eli. If I could use a few pieces of live rock from my display and then the rest dry rock that'd be awesome. I won't be staring at it too much to see what comes on the new live rock, so that's not too important to me.

![]() I'm a strong proponent of live rock as well. I would never suggest that dry rock doesn't work though. I've seen lots of nice tanks that started with dry rock. It really is just a matter of personal preference. I for one love all the live hitchhikers that you get from live rock. Many people simple do not :-)

![]() The biggest factor next time on a new tank would be cost comparison for me dry rock being a lot cheaper.
