Live Rock acclimation

[namman]

Hello to all..I have been watching and reading and trying to learn so much from all the experience here, so forgive me if I ask what may be an idiotic question from time to time.

I have a 120 with approx. 50 lbs of LR and I realize the need for more but I have a budget at this time so I can only add about 10 lbs a week. Will it be ok to add small increments such as this and not have any spikes in my parameters?
Also, I have seen some posts as to not use any lava rock at all and some that say use it as filler behind the Live rock. Thanks for any input.

Well if you add live rock incrementally, you need to re-cure it before you put it in. Even if you buy it locally and it was in water at the fish store, you always want to re-cure because they probably haven't had it long enough to cure.
Provided you do that, you'll be fine.
Search the forums for "Curing" and you'll find lots of info on how to do it.
