On a related note...I built up a ton of base rock when I started my tank, added some 'dying' live rock to cycle it (from the lfs). The rock has enough surviving coaraline to get that started, but as far as other life goes, there is little to none. I've went in in the middle of the night with a flashlight to see if anything was scuurrying around - nothing. No signs of life.
Should I attempt to purchase some better live rock (keep in mind this is a small town with 2 lfs and my tank is currectly full of rocks so ordering 50# is out of the question) or can I obtain some copepods & stuff in another manner? Suggestions?
