Extra Rock??

[The_Barrs_Reef]

hi guys I have about 6 islands of rock that are in my display tank and I just got some new coral I need to put in my sand bed so I need to make some room is it ok to put the rock in my sump until I need them?

Absolutely. I keep spare live rock in my fuge/sump. Keeps the rock "Live Rock."

Awesome thank you.. you also don't happen to know if you can cycle new rock down there too can you or will that trigger a cycle in the display??

- Transferring live rock from the display to the sump will not start a cycle.

- Introducing new dry rock will not either, and will just get seeded and eventually become live rock.

- Putting dead live rock with dead or decaying matter should be done is small increments to prevent a nutrient spike in the system.
