Going to be adding LR to the running tank about every 2 weeks or so, was told not to put too much in at once b/c of spikes, so I'm trying to be careful.
KevtheIris, do you have any fish or inverts in your tank yet? If your tank is still cycling and you have no fish or anything, it is actually better to add all of the rock at once, because not only will it cycle your tank-but it will only take one time to cycle. Because if you continue to add the rock the way you are, your tank is going to go through a cycle every time you add live rock. Just a suggestion. I think it is better to do at least most of it all at once.

yea LFS has pre-cured, doing in weekly segments, that piece was the first LR i added, did it on sunday, kind of being picky about the LR, the other pieces didnt have much growth on them, gonna wait and see what they get this week. Any suggestions on how to better hied the powerhead and tube that supplies my Merlin Plus 60 filter? (on the right side of the pic)
