Live Rock Question

I'm going to buy 22 pounds of Fiji Premium Live Rock today, I'm going to be getting it this Friday. I was wondering once they are fully cured, Do i just put the whole 22 pounds in the Reef tank or put a couple then wait a few days and add some more?

 

is this an established reef tank? I would just add dead base rock.

is this a new setup? put all in at once.

 

Established reef tank

 

what size tank are you adding this to?

 

55 Gallon Reef

 

I would first get dry base rock over live rock for an established tank.

But if you really want to go live rock route, I'd still add it all at once. You will probably see some level of spike, but as long as it is fully cured, shouldn't be too bad or for too long.

How much rock is in there now?

 

I have like 30 pounds right now of LR

 

OK, What I say above... I still think that.

 

I already ordered LR & idk where i can find dry base rock

 

dont worry, should be fine.

just for future reference; you can get quality florida base rock from reefcleaners for a really nice price
