Now, I guess I'll be the one who as nicely as I can tell Kyle that he needs live rock. I am old enough to remember when using live rock (in the U.S.) greatly increased our success in keeping saltwater aquariums. I'm just going to quote an article in livestockusa.org " As you may know, live rock was in many ways the "silver bullet secret" to keeping saltwater tanks, especially reef tanks with corals. Though tanks with lots of high tech gear can be run without it, tanks with it can be run without lots of high tech and expensive equipment. I like some of both. Good live rock can be one of the most aesthetically pleasing aspects of a tank full of beautiful, rare animals. It can also keep them alive! It contains all the bacteria necessary for nitrification and denitrification, key to the success of a reef tank. The best filter you'll buy will be your live rock ... it is both literally and figuratively the foundation of your saltwater aquarium.
Back in the 1960's the famous pioneering aquarist Dr. Herbert R. Axelrod would visit a guy in Indonesia that had what he called fantastic beautiful saltwater tanks, run with only and airstone. There were pictures of it in some of his early books. Yes there were few fish, but lots of what we'd now call awesome live rock! That was his secret. Just an airstone, and live rock."
My newest tank, 2 1/2 years old, was started using imported Vanuatu live rock. I have hundreds of hitchhikers, including many kinds of corals. I highly recommend livestockusa.org.
The FIRST ADVISE I'd give someone new to the hobby would be to start with plenty of live rock.
