I've just finished curing 43 lbs worth of Vanisi rock that I bought from Jeff's Exotic Fish. (BTW i'm so glad I live down the street from Jeff's, saves me the hassle from getting everything shipped)
Anyway, my water param's are great, temps are in the 80-84 range, and I have no inhabitants yet. I just bought some more rock (44 lbs Fiji) totally uncured about a couple days ago. Since i have no inhabitants in my tank, do any of you guys think itll be okay to just put them in my display tank? Or do you think it might reverse the cyclin process?
Guys, i'm totally new to the hobby so don't bash on me okay? Thanks.

You will just get a new second cycle. You can always cure the second batch in a rubbermaid container and add it once it's cure. But knowing me, I would just throw it in and cycle it a second time unless of course the first batch had some nice hitchhikers that you don't want to risk the second cycle.

Of coarse cureing it in a seperate container may kill some cool hitch hikers on the new rock. I would just tune up the skimmer and dump it in. Leave the lights on as this will promote some algae to suck up the nutrients. Then siphon off the algae every few days.
