Live Rock

I recently added 30lbs of Fiji LR into my already cycled 6 month old 37g tank. There have been no fish for about 4 weeks due to ick. The rock was cured when purchased.
Will the addition of this rock mean another cycle? Or is it safe to add fish?
Thanks

If its truly cured you can put it right in without disrupting the cycle. In fact you just added additional filtration/nitrifying bacteria to help cope with an additional load. I'd wait and test for a few days 1rst just to make sure there's no further die off from the rock.

Thanks for the reply.
Actually, the LFS where purchased has many tanks with signs of dates when rock arrived and began curing. I vist this store 1-2 times a week just to see what's new and I am aware of what is there. I have been testing the water for a week now since the lr was added. All parameters good.
Thanks again!
