Yes I have live rock in my tank. I just need to add and I am not sure if it's a good idea to add others bacteria or just get dry.Did you start with live rock?

I started with a tank from my father that he wasn't taking care of and no longer wanted. I had to bring it back to life, it had green and red algae. The tank was in horrible shape, I fixed it all up and it's doing great. I don't want any issues because it took me a while to fix all the problems it had. When I got it he hadn't done a water change in a few months. I have had it for a year and it's doing great. I want to add more corals but before I can I need to add rock first there just isn't enough.

Local pet store wants 15 a pound for what they say is pest free wet rock. I always question it because they say when I buy fish not to let the water into my tank. Why would letting there wet rock be any different. I didnt understand that.Ah ok. I personally always recommend dry rock but some needs to be cured (not hard to do though). Some companies sell pest free live rock though but its expensive.

I just added some dry base rock to my system, no pests and much cheaper than live rock. It will assimilate everything it needs from all the existing live rock in the tank.Local pet store wants 15 a pound for what they say is pest free wet rock.

I think I am going to stick with dry rock sounds like a better option and much more safeI just added some dry base rock to my system, no pests and much cheaper than live rock. It will assimilate everything it needs from all the existing live rock in the tank.
The only downside is that it will take six months or a year to develop the same color as the existing rock.I think I am going to stick with dry rock sounds like a better option and much more safe
