about to set up a new rsm c130. New to salt water.
I've been reading some horror stories about bad hitchhikers coming from live rock. I'm leaning toward this dry rock they sell on marine depot. It's mined on dry land in FL. Supposed to be very porous. Gets great reviews.
I'm thinking of putting a 20lb sack of Carib sea arag alive special grade reef sand below the dry rock.
I've got time. Will the live sand get the rock going? I hear people saying to "seed" the dry rock with a piece of live but that would defeat the purpose of using dry, right?
Please point me in the right direction! Tank arrives tomorrow!! Whoohoo!!!
