My Aquarium Showcase
ThIs is spot on!!!This here pretty much sums it up/\ /\
Someone coming into the hobby who
1. Doesn't have someone guiding them
2. Doesn't put in the work to learn the basics before drop one goes in the tank
3. Doesn't know what a financial investment these tanks are
4. Unable to have all the basic equipment up front ie RODI, lights, skimmer in order for a successful launch
These are the people that drop out in year 1. Also patience, so many folks want immediate gratification, and this is NOT that hobby.
Regarding the rock issue, if you do it right, your dry rock eventually becomes live rock.
My 2 cents.
