I am about to set my 75 gal tank up again. Last time I had just fish and some decorative coral. I would like to put some live rock in this time but I am not planning on making a reef tank. I just want it for the benefits of cycling and to look more natural. Also, I don't want all the little extra friends that come with the live rock...what ever may come out of it. I don't know if I should buy cured rock, or cure it myself, or if it is considered "not live" anymore if it doesn't have all the little friends living in it. I don't know too much about it at all just that I like the way it looks. Can any one help me out? I need to find out more info on this if anyone could direct me to some reading material or something. I am wondering if I am just going to be wasting my money on it if I am not planning a reef tank. Also, do you have to add any special additives to the tank for live rock? What about all this die off that people are talking about and the smell? Thanks for any help.
