I am wanting to limit what enters my pico office tank, and I think I want to use some man made, or maybe some "dry" rock. I really want to keep this system Pristine and simple and almost....sterile. If that makes any sense.
In the past, I have always purchased "live rock" from my LFS.
Is there any inherent issues with starting fresh, instead of grabbing the "live" stuff?
Also, I am really on the fence about sand vs bare bottom. I have had sand in all of my tanks thus far, but this tank is smaller and only 6" deep, so I do not want to lose space to a sandbed...
Any thoughts appreciated.
