Me? Discipline? LOL. There 3 Firefish and a starter CUC crawling around in there. Corals, Feather Dusters, shrimp and more CUC in a QT. Starry Blenny, Pink Watchman Goby, clownfish, and a Copperband Butterfly are in another QT. Velvet wiped out a previous QT of 5 fish. Arrgh.You went six months empty? Now that is discipline!
I bought live rock online and had it delivered, I used either www.petsolitions.com or www.drsfosterandsmith.com

No I got some pineapple sponge and some pods but nothing badPetsolution seems like a great deal. Dr Foster and smith rock is man made so Ill skip that. Did you get any unwanted pests from petsoltuion?
100% correct! Nothing else needs to be said.Dry rock leaves one open to all kinds of algae issues. Dry rock went out of fashion 30 years ago when the Berlin method came into the US based on fresh live rock. When Live rock became regulated people went back to dry rock and back to the same issues of algae and bacteria imbalance that kept the hobby from moving forward till be started to use fresh live rock. So how people think dealing with all the crazy algae issues is better. Dry rock is not porous enough to get both aerobic and non aerobic bacteria in the same piece of rock that fresh live rock has and doesn't have the sponges and other life that competes to keep algae from taking hold.
I have done it both ways.. Dry, and live.. However, here's the caveat. If you want to pay 4.00 a pound at your LFS for live rock, your just TOSSING your money away. All dry rock is cheaper, and you only need 1 starter live rock to get the ball rolling.
Now I went all live this go round, but I was buying it off craigslist from people who don't want their tanks anymore. At 1.00 a pound, it was a better go than dry rock. Simple re-cure in the brute trash can and more money for other toys.. :0
