I’m starting a 50g AIO mixed reef tank. My plan is to aquascape with 40-50lbs of dry rock( probably Marco). This is mainly for price considerations, and to avoid most of the hitchhiker issues.
My question is, would it be good/beneficial to add a small amount of live rock in addition? I’m using live sand, but thinking 5-10lbs of live rock would help cycle, add to biodiversity, etc.
Also, does anyone know if a supplier than sells small quantities of live rock? Most I’ve seen start at 20-30lbs.
I should add that I don’t have a LFS near me, aside from a sub-par PetCo. Does PetCo even sell live rock? And would I want it if they did??
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
