I've used DIY or dry rock for the last few tanks, and the seeding goes quite quickly. I never had a problem with a build up of Nitrate. The trouble is getting rid of the PO4 in the dry rock, that can take a very long time. I would say at lease a year before you're completely rid of it. My next tank will be cooked live rock.

Haha, yeah I was feeling optimistic this morning. Fwiw, I can't stand dry rock (or LEDs lol).
