My tank is a 16 gallon Biocube. Right now I am not satisfied with my aquascape. I have three pieces of dry rock I want to put in my tank. My question is can I add all three pieces in at once or should I do it more slowly? I am also wondering how I should prepare it to go into my tank. Should I just wash it in RO water or is there more I should do to it?

These are the pieces of rock

hey, wash it with power wash (but gently) if you want. You can put them all at once, I would not see anything against it. You can break them into smaller pieces and glue them back to nicer shapes too :)
 
You can rinse the rock and put it right into the tank. I personally prefer to use the dry rock frags that supposedly contain live bacteria and are made to look like live rock.I like the way they match the mature rock in my system. First photo of the dry rock the second after months in the tank first photo not the piece in the tank just an example.
