So my tank is 90 gallon all my current fish have took all the hiding places so i want to add more rock so i can add more fish how much caribsea life rock can i safely add at once?
 
Yes you can but you want to make sure you don’t have too much rock and there’s lots of swimming room still. That link isn’t loading. Do you have a photo?
 
maybe this link
 
i don't have much rock at all very minimal want to add some more hiding places
 
I added life rock to an existing tank on a couple of occasions, though I already had a lot of rock in the tank. It's pretty dense concrete, so not sure how much it would help the biofilter; but it will work fine as hiding places.
 
how much can i add at once though if i add to much wont it create another cycle
 
Why would it create another cycle? When it comes to dry rock, usually you just rinse it really good to get all the dust/debris off it and put it in the tank.

makes sense but pretty sure i read somewhere if you add dry rock it can cause a mini cycle
