regarding pests introduced with LR you may want to consider purchasing all dry rock and seeding it yourself, the process doesn't take long, you can use a few pieces of live rock to seed

one way of getting rid of hitchikers is to use an octupuss,they love hitchikers.
i usually lay out all the rock and watch the crabs crawl out. as for aptaisia ive never actually worried about it from fresh rock. never seen apt. on premium rock. vic |

My wife and I are planning a Canadian ski trip next year some time, might have to bring some of this 80 degree(januray/february) heat to you as a trade for a glimpse of what appears to be a beautiful neighborhood and amazing tank! |

Very nice ancient stone work and slick Dead referrence. I did not realize you had the rock already as well. IME, high quality live rock is much better than dead unless you've got the time to leach off the PO4, I've found even quality dead rock produces tons more PO4 than live rock does.
