Is there a different process for starting up a new set up with cured Vs Uncured rock?
Go with the uncured rock and get Gold to match J&L's price of 5.05/lb to 6.00/lb for Fiji rock ... it takes a bit longer to cycle with uncured rock but you do get more " stuff " ... dont worry about the live sand as it will become live from the bacteria and bugs off of the live rock ... get some good test kits to monitor the cycle ( ammonia/nitrite/nitrate ) then when things get going and the tank matures get some more kits ( Calcium/Alk/Magnesium )
Come on, we are talking about a nano here.
