well in previous posts, people have been curious about the creatures growing on their liverock, so I assumed they were on there in the beginning. I was just curious if you have to buy every live plant/sponge/coral/etc. or if some are on the liverock when purchased
it's just that your tank looks so mature and there is so many different plants and other live things that I wasn't sure you bought all of them yourself.
basically, I wanted to get into the SW first but thought buying enough plants to make it look like a reef will cost too much, where the LR will take care of half of the live things
