I did not go the dry route. I bought 40 pounds of nice cured rock form Codfather and have about 20-25 of my own to add.

It would have saved me only $10 on 40lbs so why bother?

Yeah true and codfather had some primo rock I have a few select pieces making it into my newset up I also want to do at least one side in tonga branch as well

And again... no dosing at all since set up....50 pounds of rock and only a couple corals right now so not much to suck the elements out of the water yet.

We will see soon.
