I've got vat of live rock that I have had sitting for probably a year. Had a heater and powerhead on it the entire time. Been in the dark to prevent any algae growth. Only thing I have done was top up water a few times over the year, a couple of times with fresh mixed SW and a couple times with water straight out of my system (used water? lol).
Anyway, now I want to add some rock to my display. Can I just add rock from my stash? I want to add some height to my rock work so I was thinking primarily of using this new rock as a base and existing stuff on top of that. I have a lot of sump space, should I add it in there first for a few days/weeks to let it get better seasoned to current tank parameters?
Any risks to adding this "cooked" rock all at once, or should I slowly introduce it? Or am I good to go and just add it all in?
