adding LR

[frogdog]

I just started up my 75g about a week ago, so I have no livestock yet. I bought 90lb of cured LR, and its in there.
I found another store that has some really nice uncured LR, and would like to add some of that in. How do I go about it?

How many pounds will you be adding. If it's a small amount it won't make a difference.

most likely 10lb or less.

You can just put it in. It will be fine.

Having all you need now is good advice.
As time passes you will be buying fraga and Corals that are already attached to pieces of LF. As you add these to the tank your total amount of rock will too increase too. It may not be a lot but over the years I have got a few newbies attached to some pretty big pieces of rock.......

It looks great. Now let it go fishless for at least 3 weeks to make sure you have let any parasites like Ich die out for lack of host.
