My 150g tank is 12 days old, kind of. Some of the rock came from my well established 25 gallon reef tank. The rest came from a tub with good circulation, a couple of fish, a heater, and even a refugium for 5+ months. It was basically a plastic fish tank with room lighting. The tub of rocks was seeded from the 25g established tank.
The rocks have a great brittle star population, bristle worms, etc. but the sand bed is mostly bare outside of mild diatoms.
Question: Is it worth it to buy a bug population from algaebarn or should I just wait for my population to grow from the old rocks I'm using? If I need to buy something, what should I get? (Links are appreciated)
