All you need is a smalll amount of live rock to seed your tank. about 3/4 of my tank is Dry base rock that I put in the tank (I use to live in the keys and could get great rock from constuction sites where they were digging holes
.
Just a thought I think more places should be selling this rock, to ease the pressure on Reefs in the South Pacific. The main disadvantage is that the rock is a lot more dense, but is also becomes a great source of calcium for the tank as well. Anyone else go this route?
great looking tank
