Seed Live Rock

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a small piece of seed live rock to help populate my dry rock with microfauna?

Personally, I used dry rock on my 75 reboot. There are enough pests to deal with when you start adding coral frags. I didn’t want to deal with anymore potential threats than need be. Yes, it will take the tank longer to mature, but I guess that’s the trade off. Just MHO

I kind of agree with you on that, and money and pests being what they are, that’s why I went with dry rock this time around.  And at some point the microfauna will build up.  I just need to be patient and add things slowly.

I am in Middletown as well and probably have a couple small pieces in my sump to help you out, if you want.

Cool!  I may reach out soon - the tank is arriving today and I expect it to be wet by the end of the weekend, barring unforeseen circumstances.
