So I just bought some new live rock for my tank (about another 20lbs) Should I prep it in any way before putting it in or just put it on in?

Depends on if it is cured or not...I would still put it in a tote with sw and a PH overnight...just in case...that is only my opinion

Well my tank has no fish/inverts at all just rock and sand. The rock is cured. Im just wondering about maybe getting rid of worms or something that im not thinking of.

well if you are cycling then I guess it really doesn't matter
BUT....if you want to be sure there is not Crud on it...just rinse it off real good with SW....or put it in the tote...LOL

brissle worms and pods are good things. Just give it a light scrub, rinse and add it to your tank

LOL...You sure made up your mind pretty quick..looks good

Im not known to be very patient, im stoked about it.
Im running a fluval 404 right now until I get my sump but the water has been rather clowdy even before I stirred it up. Up until today I was running all bioballs, today I added a sponge in the top bucket of the filter so that should help a bit, should I add any other sort of media? What will help?

Gorgeous looking rock. The sponges should help and polishing pads would work even better^
I lied its the polishing pads that I put in there. Would putting some carbon in one of the media trays help or would it be negative?
