Was just wondering,(i have live sand) if yes, how much lr do i need? What fish could go in a 10 gallon? Thanks in advance.
 
NEED? no. I would highly recommend it though. I would say a 10 gal could get away with 10 or 15 pounds of live rock. I will really help your biological filter and its always interesting to see what critter come with your rock.

Just make sure its cured before you drop it into an established tank.
 
by definition a FO with LR is a FOWLR..

as for stocking, maybe like a small goby and damsel. or a firefish, or gramma or something.. not alot, that's for sure
 
10 to 15 pounds wont hurt.... always good to have some live rock...
 
You dont "need" LR, but its a good thing to have in your system. If your afraid of the initial cost of it you can get "dead rock" with some rock rubble from a more established tank. This along with your LS will seed your rock and make it LR soon.

As for tank stocking if your just wanting to keep fish only: Firefish, *Fridmani Orchid Dottyback*, Cardinals, or asst. shrimps
 
ya my dad got liverock with his tank and it came with a brittle star. it is really exciting to find what it comes with.
