Adding dry rock

[clancaster23]

Now that I have a cycled tank and added my first fishy, I want to top off my rock. I have about 30 pounds of live in there and want the rest to just be dry rock which I'll be ordering from TBS. I'm looking to get about 100 pounds which would give me 130 pounds total. Will I be able to add all of the rock all at once in the tank without causing any kind of cycle or anything like that or should I add some of it over time? Again, I'll be getting dry rock, not live.

to be on the safe side i wouldent add anymore fish untill after you add the rock it could cause a cycle from dieoff

Even though it is dry, adding that much could cause a cycle.

What if a little at a time? I have the same question.

If you only have one fish, then i would just add everything at once and hope for the best. If you have a bunch of livestock then i would probably just add a couple of well cleaned pieces every week.
