New Aquarium

[d00kie]

I just got a 75 gallon aquarium and i am ready to start cycling it. I have been reading books and they say i should do it with live rock. Is it good to order from saltwaterfish.com? Is the rock good? and is it shipped in water so it stays well. Also is it cured so i wil not have to cure it myself. Also how much rock should i get? Thanks for the help.

forgot to ask whether i should have base rock or just go with all fiji rock

I would worry about how it is shipped. To get it still alve it would need to be wet the whole trip. Some places wrap them in wet paper towels but nature dries them out. Most people prefer to get it from the LFS as opposed to ordering online. At the LFS you get to see and choose what you get. Online your stuck with what they send.

I got some LR online(not here) and am not too impressed. It was shipped in wet paper and doesn't seem to have much life on it. I'm going to my lfs and am going to buy some more from them. I guess for the price I paid it was okay.
