    How is this for a new setup

    This is where I am not clear... One supplier has no live rock.. wants me to use the bioballs and run copper once I am ready for fish. The other supplier has 50lbs live plus the bioballs (no copper). Which one is better long term or do I go no bioballs at all? Both of them did quote with...
