Adding More Live Rock

Will adding more Live Rock to an existing system do any harm?

I'd like to add more to the back of the display tank. I currently have about 70 lbs in my system.

Thanks in advance.

it may cause a small spike depending on the rock. if you do add more make sure its fully cycled, and try not to move the bottom rocks so as not to stir up detrius.
