Assuming someone is patient, would there be advantages to buying several smaller diverse samples of live rock and letting it propagate onto lace rock, as apposed to just buying a few large samples of live rock?
It seems the diversity from numerous samples could be an advantage. Other than the time it would take to propagate, would there be any disadvantage to this plan?
Any recommendations for or against purchasing live rock mail order, and what should you expect to pay (ballpark) for live rock?
How does a newbie distinguish between quality live rock and low-grade samples, (since every seller claims theirs is quality stuff)?
