Live rock
I am about to order LR from liveaquaria.com Any particular benefits aside from looks(certain inverts growing from one and not the other) between Tonga,Fiji, cultured or non-cultured? Also, i only have close to 65watts of floures. light in the tank right now (2 x 36") . Is this good enough for just the LR until new lighting installed. Lastly, sorry for all the ?'s, am i supposed to leave the lights off until the rock is completely cycled to prevent algae bloom?

no fish in tank..not tonga branch..they have a regular looking tonga on the site. Also, I will be cycling the rock so i think I should just buy uncured as it will have to cycle neway? right

lol brain lapse...i was gonna go with the first option on their LR page. Its says pieces range from 4" -14". I am going with the 45lb box first. if i need more ill add as I go. The Large rick 10-20" range is like over $300. I can always zip tie as i shape the structure, I think that answered your ?

i will take pics and sen em..Pimp if im only adding 10-15lbs at a time not to overwhelm the tank, is the other rock staying in the box ok, or is it going to smell? Also, an old question, when I'm vacuuming gravel will i have to move my structure or can I just go around it? I dont want to make mistakes in this process
