Adding new rock

[Kkuhar]

Hello! I have a 125 gallon tank. It has been fully cycled and running about 6 months. I initially put in 100 gallons of live rock. I'd like to add more rock. Any recommendations? Buy more live rock or dry rock? I have a box of dry rock in the garage that would be the best financially but I dont want to do anything to hurt my tank. It is a fish and coral tank. Thank you in advance!!

Perfectly fine to add more rock, it is infact better to add dry due to no hitch hikers nor aptasia etc. gl

Awesome! Thank you!

No worries, make sure you clean the rock up and soak it in ro-di to ensure no dirt/dust enters your tank.

Awesome! Thank yo

Don't add to much at once. I did that recently in my tank and it caused a dino bloom that I was fortunate to nip in the behind quickly.

Sorry, forgot to mention, Thank you racer. Add around a 1:4 ratio of the rock you want to add to the current amount in tank every two weeks.

Any and all rock should be composed of calcium carbonate
