I have a Yellow Tang, Yellow Headed JawFish, 3 damsels, feather duster, and a few inverts. I'm just starting to add live rock. Is it ok to add 5 or 6 lbs. at a time or should it all be added a once. How much rock should a add to a 55 gallon tank? How can I pick healthy rock?

Is Figi a good rock...Thats all my local pet store has, and its $9 a lb...I was thinking of gitting 20 lbs from ****** Fish, hell of a lot cheaper!! Then gitting another 20 lbs in a month or so.

if you do get the rock make sure it is cured or you will loose many fish because of possible spikes in the ammonia[
