I just read a thread about 'the best rock' and someone mentioned some dry rock leaching phosphates or something. I wouldn't have thought that there would be any problems with dry rock -- surely it would be better than spending more for live rock, which could contain all sorts of pests?
I want dry rock for my first salt tank because my LFS's live rock is very expensive and since it's a chain store I don't know what they do to their rock in order to make it pest-free, if anything. So I figure it probably has all sorts of unwanted... stuff.
And I REALLLLYYyy do not want to deal with pests from live rock!
So, I want to get some dry Marco rock. Anyone had any issues with that type of rock, or think I could run into a problem?
