Hi, Guys!

Last weekend, I upgraded my 30 gallon tank to a 65 gallon tall. I thought the 45# of live rock in the 30 would be enough since the tanks are the same length, but it definitely isn't since the 65 is SO much taller!

I just ordered 50# of dry base rock. Do I need to cycle the new rock in a tub before putting it into the display or will the fact that there is already so much established rock in the tank going to let me skip that?

Cook it first.

Damn it! I hate waiting!!!

I knew in my gut that I should but the impatient devil on my shoulder was telling me to just plop it in! :)

I will cook it and learn some patience.

Thanks!
