Dry Rock Suppliers

The sooner you get the live rock curing the better. I lost 2 months of curing time as I dragged my butt looking for some.

As to the ratio of dry to live, that will depend on how you plan on stocking your tank over the next, say, year or so. The more live, the more livestock you may add sooner.
For instance, in my 75g I'll have 40Lbs of dry and only ( for now ) 14Lbs live, so I'll only be able to add critters that the 14Lbs can support until many months from now. I believe if I was to fully stock the tank over the first few months, I'd need at least 50-75Lbs of live rock. Basically 1-1.5Lbs/g is needed for a healthy, fully stocked tank.

Here's a better idea of my thoughts;
My understanding is 4" of fish per 10 gallons of water, give or take very small or very large fish.
Having less than 1-1.5Lb/g means less than 4"/10g. For at least a year.

You have to decide how patient you can be vs how much live rock you can talk yourself into buying.
