I ordered live rock from arc reef. (Link above)

2 questions?

1. Does anyone have experience and comments about them?

2. My plan was to get all the rock in a container with a power head and replace a dry rock with a live rock every few days until its complete. For stability reasons. Should there be any problems with this?

My tank is about 2 months old (20gal nuvo) and I have a few zoa's, clownfish, shrimp, and snails.
The website says since I live close so no curing should be needed. (thoughts?))
 
There will be plenty of good bacteria coating all of the surfaces of your tank and sand. I'd just do a complete swap out at one time. Give the new live rock a sniff test. If it smells like clean ocean great, if it smells like death, do the bucket thing.

Seems like such a fast way to do something like this but I honestly cant see any real problem with it. Thanks.
