Adding live rock to existing system

[cstires]

Any do's and dont's I should know about before doing this? I currently have about 100lbs in my 90 gallon, but would like to add quite a bit more, maybe 50-60 lbs.

DO: Make sure its cured
DONT: assume becaus ethe LFS says its cured that its cured

Adding that much more rock will definately cycle your tank and kill fish and corals if its not cured

do you know where they are getting the rock from? what store is it in orlando?

I added 40# of cured marshall islands from premium aquatics and I only saw ammonia levels at .25 ppm, not enough to warrant a water change IMHO.

The levels stayed up for about a day.

buy the rock from someone breaking down their tank that is local to you.

I was thinking of getting it from Ocean Blue, since it's the closest store that I can think of. I live on Lake Pickett.
