I think you made a good choice my 1st three tanks were setup with liverock and my last tank (SPS) was setup with dry rock and I have to say the initial biodiversity with liverock can never be duplicated with dry rock, also takes the dry rock forever to get coraline algae established on the rock. However I don't see the fish or coral more health in the live rock tank vs the dry rock tank. If I had to start over I would go with liverock for my SPS tank. Good luck on your new tank,
