Adding more live rock

Ricky1066 · 02/18/2008, 09:09 PM

I am thinking of adding some more cured lr to my tank I have this ugly hose running up the back of my tank which is an eyesore to me so I was thinking of adding lr to blockit build up arouind it

How do I do it or can I do it I have about 75 pds now is there too much rock ?

can I add more right to the main tank
I do nto have quaantine but I will look online for someone selling some of their lr

75 lbs is great in the tank. I would add it to your sump and leave swimming room for the fish in the main tank.
I would add five lbs of week to ensure you don't have an ammonia spike

re ugly hose on the back---put some wall pager or background on the back of the tank so that the hose doesn't show

your tank is doing great--very clean and neat--no signs of algae and lots of corraline growing
