#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I agree if you wait for conditions to stabilize then add the rest you will have to wait twice as long and chances are if you wait to long to add the rst all of the bennificial bacteria in it will have died making the Live rock about as useful for your tank as rock you can gather on the side of the road (not recomended).#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#tigersax7#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I agree, if you store the other half of the rock you will need another tank or you will kill everything off on the LR making it base rock.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As long as you dont have anything to go in there right away, put it all in at once. The nitrates and Amonia will have stabalized by the time you want to put anything in.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
