Hi all,
While I dont have a new tank in the works currently, I am always looking to expand my knowledge and think ahead for when that time comes.
When I do upgrade, I would ideally want to start with live rock. Ocean direct would be nice, but I am mostly interested in all the micro life that comes with well established rock.
Even ocean direct rock needs time to cure before corals/fish are added to the system.
So my question today has a few parts:
1. What type of rock did you use when setting up your latest build (dry/ocean direct live/established from another tank/etc.)?
2. Did you cook your rock before setting up the tank, or cycle in-tank?
3. If you could do it over, what would you change?
Thanks everyone!
