Adding cured live rock

[tewebb]

Will adding cured live rock to my tank cause another cycle. I have a 75g that has about 70lbs of live rock and has been up since Jan09. I want to add a few more pieces of cured live rock to my tank. I am just afraid this might cause another cycle:squigglemouth:

Did you cure it yourself or are you trusting someone else word that it is cured?

Getting it from a local shop that has curing tanks were you can choose yourself.

I wouldn't trust it unless you know exactly how long they have been curing it.

If they have had it for a good while it should be good. Just make sure.

Make sure you do the sniff test when you pick out your new pieces. If it smells, put it back.

Good point. It shouldn't smell at all. (Smell = something(s) died/dieing)
