LR or else?

[brownleaf]

Can any one give me some comment on add'g LR to a established tank?
My tank is about two months old w/ Four 1" fish, some shroom, and some zoos.
I have about 18lb LR now. Would like to add 5 more.
Will I be expect another mini cycle if add cured LR?
Thanks!

I have added LR three different times since I first set up my tank and have never had a problem. That said, the rock must be cured. I bought mine at the LFS and drove straight home and put it in the tank.

Thanks, Pacopetty.
Cured LR is what I'm go'g to get.

You should be just fine. I just put 16 lbs more in mine about an hour ago.

Be sure to ask your LFS how long they have had the rock, if it is a new shipment it may still have some die off, if it is truly fully cured and you are only adding 5lbs then you should not have a spike.

I added LR twice already and i have zoos and shrooms. But my LFS cures it for 2 weeks. Everthing is fine
