hi there

[paul wh]

hi im pretty new just build up the courage to start my first reef tank i ask a question about live rock but it seems here would be better i wanted to know if i could add my rock in stages (say 10kg or less) as i find in england the rock is ok but every lfs has good rock and bad and i only would like the good.
also i have spoken to a chap who i bought the tank from he recomended that i rotate the rock over a 2 day period
what are your thoughts on this
cheers paul

You want to rotate, or put in 22lbs or less of Live Rock at a time? Or a total of 22lbs and you wnat to spread that out over some time? If its less than a total of 22lbs, and spread that out, with the bulk of it being at one time, yes, you could do that without getting the tank to cycle again. If you add 22lbs or close to that at a time, and that is spread out, you may see the tank go into small cycles.
