Are you going to wash it in salt water? If not, you should.

You should put a Powerhead in the container too to aerate the LR.

I dn think its rite to spoil the ecosystem like this . And i think its not lawful either.

i use rock from beaches i collected they dun seem to be real live rock that are purchase but it seem ok for my tank without any problem but look out for small crab that hide inside the rock they sometime do attack fishes, i washes my rock with fresh water 1st then into my tank that is cycling, now been almost 6 month.

make sure look out for sand rock they are very beautiful with hole in the middle

and some many hole my fish love swim through and fro them

Totally agree! Besides, I dun think those are "true" liverocks... and it is definitely illegal...
