Indo pacific sea farms has the answer to your dry rock needs. The live sand activator and wonder mud are the real deal.
Another hidden gem is the gulfliverock nano special. $100 shipped of rock from Tampa. I’ve gotten boxes of softball size rocks and I have gotten football size before. It comes wet but not submerged. I have put it in my display straight from the box and had no issues but some sponge die off. Great stuff.
Don’t fear the live rock. Back when I started the hobby, getting a box of Kaleini from Premium Aquatics was magical. Watching stuff “pop up” back then with your power compacts humming has kept me in the hobby all these years.
