When starting a new tank is it beneficial to pull some water from an established tank? Would pulling water from multiple tanks be better than just one? What about adding a water sample from the ocean? We live on the coast and have friends that take the boat out often and could bring us a gallon jug of water?
Also, could someone explain to me what the major difference is between live rock that is wet when purchasing and the stuff that sits out in the air and is dry? I’m assuming the wet ones have better bacteria loads but will dry live rock still be beneficial in a new tank? What can I supplement with if I do a dry live rock? I am nervous to ship it wet due to damage and not knowing what you’re getting style wise and locally I have only been able to find it dry.
