Adding live rock

[moneymm]

I'm 2 weeks into cycling my first tank.

My question is if I want to add live rock is now my only time? Or can I add it whenever I want down the road after fish and coral are introduced?

You can add LR whenever. If you are fully cycled it would be advisable to cure it yourself in a plastic bin (add a powerhead or airstone, keep at a stable temperature) jstu to make sure you don't spike ammonia or overload your bio-filter.

+1, you could add it later but unless you are adding only a small amount you should cycle the new rock prior to adding it to an established system.

How long do I need to cure it for?
