adding more LR question?

[tomato clown]

I bought more LR yesterday from my lfs. They start the curing cycle in their curing tanks, so my question is how long should I wait befor introducing it to an established REEF?
The new LR I have in a pail with a powerhead, so time isn't an issue. I just don't want to risk placing it too early.
Just a little more info for yas....
The LFS cures LR in their tanks, the LR I purchased was out of a tank that was being cured for at least 1 week. They change the water in their tanks every day or every other day. The water was clear and all but the LR still has that odor

Hey,
For no good reason I like to make sure the lr cures for 3 weeks, but even then I use the old sniff test. Don't know how much lr you're talking about but would suggest that when you add it, go slow. Maybe 5lbs at a time, wait a few days to make sure you don't get a Ni/Na spike, and then add another piece. HTH

well due to recent expenses I'm only buying about 5lbs at a time. thanks though, I'll wait about 2 weeks then, because there was already alot of die off in thier tanks.
