    can i add more base rock after adding fish? reason being is that im not sure if i want to add more rock or not. i have 125 gal tank and about 150lbs of rock. i like the way my tank looks but i like the look of alot of rock too, but don't want to over kill. i dont want to get fish and then add more rock later only to harm the fish.

    You can always add well-cleaned, known pest-free base rock to any established system in small quantities. If you add more than say 10% or so of the existing LR mass - you may encounter additional cycling. But in small quantities - a few pounds at a time - you can always add base rock and within a few months it will be beautiful LR.
