Adding Rock question

[KINGROWLAND1217]

I have a great piece of dry rock Id like to add back in my tank. I took this rock out about a year ago, it was covered in gha. I soaked it in peroxide and old tank water for about a month. Its been dry since. My tank has been so great lately i am hesitant to add anything cuz im scared my parameters will get thrown off. Should I culture it? Let it get to be live rock first? Or just toss it in dry? My tanks a 130 gal cube. The rocks fairly big, maybe 5-10 lbs. I have about 100 lbs in now. So idk if its even big enough to throw it all off.

I don’t know to be honest. I go the paranoid route when unsure. Best of luck

I did the same thing recently with 2 rocks I had that I wanted in my 90 gal. I soaked in RODI for 24 hours, then put them in. Zero issues

Did you end up adding that rock?

I'm in a similar situation. I have a rock covered in green palys and not sure if I should replace the rock completely. Tanks doing so well I'm hesitant taking such a big risk.
