I got a new tank like a week ago and I put reef sand and saltwater in my tank with a filter and I want to get a live rock or dry rock for my new aquarium I've never had a saltwater aquarium before so I want to know if live or dry rock is better for a beginner?
Should I get dry or live rock for my new salt water aquarium?

You will be fine - take your time and enjoy watching the tank mature. No matter which way you start, things take time and there will be setbacks. Part of dealing with those setbacks is learning how to maintain a healthy reef.

Also let me add that debate and disagreement is welcome here but arguing, and belittling will not be tolerated. I have removed a few more posts as well and some of it contained some good info but was laced with offending comments. We appreciate you all being members here but R2R is not going to be a wild west of comments like other social media platforms. Thank you.

The best thing I did when returning to the hobby last year was put 10 pounds of overnighted, shipped in water KP Aquatics live rock in my nano. Dipped the rock in 1.040 salt water to scare out any pests (just a pistol shrimp and a few brittle stars), put it in the tank, and had my first corals in a few days later.
With regular water changes I’ve never had diatoms, cyano, any algae of note, it’s been so smooth. I’ll be upgrading to a larger tank soon and plan on repeating the process.
