Aquarium Advice Regular
About 4 weeks ago I was ready to order my first Live Rock for my 46 gallon tank, but instead of placing my 70 pound Keys rock order thru LR.com I took the advice of my LFS owner and bought 12 pounds from him. He convinced me that adding 10 to 15 pounds of live rock every month to my established FO tank would be better than adding 70 pounds at once. "Safer for the inhabitants" he said.
Well, a month has passed. All inhabitants except for a dragon goby are still with me. Other than a small (half dollar sized) area of what looks like coraline growth (purpleish area) on one rock, the rest of my live rock looks as dead as the surface of the moon.
I'm disapointed with this LFS rock and ready to order from LR.com as I should have done to begin with. But, I'm still unsure about adding all the rock at once. Should I add it incrementally (10 to 15 pounds a month) as my LFS recommended or get it all at one time?
