Its the coolest part of getting quality live rock. All the little creatures and stuff that is on there. I always wait a few months if not more so that all that stuff can come back strong. If you want to really bring it out, dose live phyto dailyI spent nearly two months staring at all the animals jumping out of my LR before I put any corals or fish in.
Im a total microfauna nerd tooJust a temporary tank to keep the rock alive. Good friend on here threw me some frags so I can start working on the art of keeping water and thus a marine ecosystem. So far so good. Here are some close ups
not great pics. But yeah. It should be noted the tank has only been wet for 2 weeks and the corals have only been in a week. I’m seeing grown on some and others which shouldn’t be thriving with the light I’m using right now haven’t died off and have even gained a little color.
Live rock is worth getting. Even if it’s a small amount (I have 32lbs which will be added to my 120 once it’s set up). The sheer delight of discovering new life every day is argument enough in my mind. But, I’m a nerd with this stuff. More practically the microfauna diversity that such rock can inject in your system is priceless

KP is what I'm going with once the tank is ready. It's expensive but based on extensive research it's the best of the best. I would never touch dry rock for obvious reasons.I got 33lbs of KP aquatics premium rock.
but honestly any of the vendors will give you good stuff.
