Ok if im understanding you clearly you want different rock?
What kind do you have in there now? If you purchase any kind of live rock just make sure it's cured live rock, that way it's already cycled
Live rock this way does not hurt your fish, hope i answered your question.

I'd go with BRS Pukani. For a 125g 50lbs should be enough. I would do a search for it (there's tons) about adding pukani to an existing aquarium. It will take a little bit of work, but the rock looks great. I'd get the rock and gradually switch over what you have to the pukani.

Here's what it looks like...

Thats's approx 3/4 of the 50lbs of rock I bought. I have a 4x2x2 120g.
