Hi I would like to know if I could add a pice of love rock to an established tank. Any ideas?
 
Yes you can. Just remember if you have the flow that you want and corals are doing great adding rock could change flow patters. Also you may have to move corals.

I did that just about a month and half ago. Made some of my corals upset and had to redo flow to make them happy again. I also had to move corals so they could have proper light.

Go for it
 
I’ve heard something about creating another cycle. Is that true?
 
You may have a small uptick in ammonia and nitrite depending on size or rock, size of tank and how long it’s out of water. I added 4lbs plus to my 75 gallon tank to put me over 80lbs of Lr. I did get some ammonia reading a very low reading. I should have added some bacteria at the same time.
