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 :-)

Ill never down grade to dry. Not even to avoid the pests. Ive had only three rock crabs in 7 years. Woopie. And as for aptasia and blah blah blah you can get that from any coral too. Just look closely when you buy. Check the nooks and crannies and deal With the small chance of pests if they arise. This is my experience. I'm sure other have had worse and better.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
