Adding LR to an established tank.

[mansiz]

I would like to add some cured [acronym:23c6ee8261="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:23c6ee8261] to my [acronym:23c6ee8261="Fish only with live rock"]FOWLR[/acronym:23c6ee8261] tank, my water paremeter is alright, [acronym:23c6ee8261="Ammonia"]NH3[/acronym:23c6ee8261], [acronym:23c6ee8261="Nitrite"]NO2[/acronym:23c6ee8261] = 0, [acronym:23c6ee8261="Nitrate"]NO3[/acronym:23c6ee8261] very little detected, [acronym:23c6ee8261="power head or Measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions, depending on context"]PH[/acronym:23c6ee8261] 8.2, If I were to add the cured [acronym:23c6ee8261="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:23c6ee8261] now, will it affect my water paremeter? Will it cloud my water...etc?

If the rock is properly and completely cured...no it should not adversly effect your parameters or cloud your water. Unless you are 100% positive the rock is completely cured, I recommend not adding it directly to your tank, rather put it in a seperate container with [acronym:559642eb39="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:559642eb39] and a powerhead and test for a few days, if the ammonia does not go up, then it is safe to add to the tank, if it does...you may have saved your fishes life
