When I started my new tank, I placed the live rock right out of the box into the tank as I am of the belief that by doing so you keep all of the live stuff like sponges, corals, inverts etc. on the rock and the critters that live in the rock.
The down side is an algae problem and high phosphate. The sea hare dealt with the algae and with water changes and a Phosphate lowering product (in a small plastic bottle) that I bought from Ocean Aquatics, I was able to slowly lower the phosphate to acceptable levels.
