Good morning all, this is my dilemma, in the past the reef tanks I owned were established with "live rock" the biodiversity I had with those tanks was astonishing e.g. sponges, coralline, worms. Much of our enjoyment from those past tanks were the little critters you could find. I believe part of my success was because I bought live rock from several sources, and I dug through live rock rubble piles, most fish stores have, collecting choice pieces of rubble and used those to add diversity. This was a budgetary necessity at the time, I was poor and couldn't afford large choice pieces.
Setting up my current tank I used dry rock, and have been disappointed with the biodiversity that exists a year later. I have been to all my local stores rubble diving, but will poor results. Locally they don't have the established live rock I was used to buying. As my tank is already aqauscaped, I am looking for small pieces of excellent rubble that I can use to seed my tank. Any suggestions...
