Adding more lr

[shinobi9119]

When i bought my Lr i only had 45 pounds of fiji and 40 pounds of base rock. Well me tank looks really empty, and The other rock I wanted is finally in stock.(Many months later

)
Anyway, my tank is fully cycled and all I have is cuc in there now, and I will have a few zoa frags likely monday. Which wuold be the day I order the rock.
Question is how should I go about adding it to the tank. It is 25 pounds of tonga branch. Would I cycle it all in a seperate container? Or would a scrub and sw dip to remove die off be ok? Or something else??
thanks

I would cycle it in a separate container for a week or so if it is already cured rock just to make sure before I put it in the tank. But as usual whenever you do move rock around your tank it will spike up the nitrates but it should not be too much a problem. Just do your regular water change after placing in the rocks (and having it settle down a little)
