Hey yawl!
I will be starting up my 28g HQI Biocube soon. One big way to save money it seems is to get dead rock(dry rock). With that said I am really getting a lot of different ideas about it.....
I like that with dead rock I wont be getting anything I don't want in my tank like aptasia and even majanos anemones. No need to mention that dead rock is 1/2 or less the price of live rock. Im planing to really take my time with the tank there for letting the dead rock become live over time, correct? Now live rock I know it is coming with a bunch of nitrifying bacteria! But again when the dead rock turns over to live rock then wont it also have a lot of the good bacteria?
Again this seems to be one of those thing that the more I read about it and the more I ask about it the more it becomes unclear what to do!!!
Please help me and give me your suggestion/experiences with this matter!
P.S. Where I stand now Im thinking of small amount of crushed coral for a substrate and mostly dead rock and a few pieces of live rock. Along with one starter fish to get my tank started.
Thanks so much!
