    Having troubles :(

    Live Rock problems
    2 months ago i went to get my tank set up along with that i got 5 pounds of live rock , i have a 29 gallon fish tank when my tank cycled at the 4 week mark i got a tomato clown, i also had my 5 pounds of live rock in there, at six weeks i got a yellow wrasse and a cleaner shrimp, i made the mistake of listening to my lfs and they said i do not need a clean-up crew so i didn't , and they told me that i only need 5 pounds of live rock , but then someone told me i needed at least 30 gallons to keep up with my bio-load but now i am kind of stuck because i don't know what to do because adding more live rock would kill my live-stock and that's a big waste of money for all that work :/ i don't know what to do should i risk it? thanks in advance,
    Mikail

    You can add around 5 lbs every 2-3 weeks until you have enough Live Rock in the tank, adding alittle at a time will keep the tank from going through a cycle and killing your livestock.
