Hello folks , so I am planning to add more rock to my 210 gallon tank
I couldn't find a dry rock so I bought 30 ib of live rock , and I wash it with
Brush and Hot water , and let it dry for 24 hour ,

So my question is , can I use it now ?? Or I will have ammonia spike ?
Is it the right way to clean that rock ,
 
You will probably have a spike. Put it in a container with saltwater, a heater and a small powerhead to agitate the surface and let it cure. You will get an ammonia and nitrite spike so watch the cycle, when ammonia and nitries are gone its safe to add to the display but chanves are it will still contribute to nutrients so be wary of that.
