Hi, I'm Brian. I'm new to reef2reef. I've been an aquarist for most of my life. I recently got back into reefing after a 9yr break. I just purchased a 12 gallon GankPike nano. I'm still waiting on the dry rock to get here. Last time I was in the hobby, live rock was the most common way to go. Now, it seems dry rock is more popular. I plan on doing a fishless cycle once my rock gets here. Below is my new tank. Comments welcome!

Hey Brian,
Welcome back.
Many here think the biodiversity of a live rock start has advantages.

there are ways of getting live rock with out breaking the bank. people revise their tanks and have some left over; people turn used rock into their LFS. some cure rock and do not use everything they cure.
Welcome back to the show, nice unusual tank!!
