Thanks for the replies. I was trying to avoid buying live rock. Since this is my first saltwater tank I was trying to keep things easy. I totally understand some of the advantages of live rock but with my luck it would be infested with mantis shrimp and those nasty anemones. What I lack in experience I make up for in patience. I just like doing things right. The idea of being in control of what goes into my tank sounds appealing to me.
Maybe I'll see if Stewart from Prairie Aquatics can put together a special order for me. Otherwise I'll definitely check out Bayside Corals. I could use a trip to Fuddruckers anyways.
