ive heard about tampa bay its supposed to be really critter loaded plus its cultured live rock

since they ship there rock in 2 shipments and you cycle the tank with the first shipment. just to be on the safe side i would put the 2nd in and keep an eye on the water before adding anything. because with it being shipped you still get die off especially if there are sponges. they can cause a ammonia spike even in a cycled tank. get all your rock set and redy then make your first purchase when amm and nitrites are at 0. if you get your 2nd shipment it might be a good idea to scrape dead sponges and a few others that may be on there to minimize any ammonia spikes, i did this with my shipped rock and dont be afraid of doing it becuase it will eventually all grow back. infact everything i scrapped off i think grew back 3 times fold those critters are tougher than you would think
