none of these things happen over night , if a pest turns into a problem in most cases its yourself to blame for either letting it get out of control or simply not wanting to deal with it when it wasnt a problem

ill never use dry rock , i know several sources now for liverock under $2/lb
i know far less people with "horrible pest problems" compared to those who are constantly battling things with dry rock.

I love the diversity. Really, if I had my preferences, I would be getting rock from as many different sources as I can to try and give a boost to that biodiversity. Micro fauna is a bit of an obsession of mine, so I want as much diversity as I can possibly get. I don't know if I would have more Algae with dead rock, but I do know that I have almost none with the set up I have now.

Where are you getting rock for under $2/lbs? Does that also include shipping? That sounds fantastic! I would love to hear more.
