Dry rox vs live rox

[M Woodhill]

im really hesitatin this time to choose before the two

i know it takes much longer for dry live rocks to establish bacteria but i do lose confidence of pest control of the live rocks

aipasia, nudis, algae, oh right, the most disgustin is vermetid snails, jesus, they did make my tank appear like the home of mr spiderman. holy crack!

several friends of mine told me, just as publicized by BRS, the dry live rocks will solve all the problems once for a while. it sounds too attemptin

seemingly there r so apparently pros of dry live rocks:

cheaper--much

no pest--fabulous

becoming live--just sooner or later

so any ideas? plz share with me your stories and gimme a simple answer--yes or no

I started my 58g reef (see pic below) about 6 months ago. Everything you see was dry rock, except 3 or 4 pieces of live rock I used to seed everything and to get the Coralline algae going. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. It's a no-brainer IMO. But you judge for youself...
