should I buy cured or raw?

[Aquattro]

As for critters, I got my mantis from cured rock I bought from Raf. Hell if he is going to remove anything. BTW Darren, as of Nov 1 Raf doesn't run the place anymore. Ted bought it.
Seaclones are crap..period. You could buy a used skimmer for $100 and get 5 times more skimmer. Someone here was selling Berlins (Marc??) for $100.
And I would only buy uncured. Curing it is half the fun!!
