tank and live rock set up for a week now wanting to put dry rock in?

[kmanuel4]

i have a 55g salt water tank set up for a week with 60lbs live sand and about 20 pounds live rock. I recently bought 10pounds base dry rock. I am seeing a break of diatoms (im pretty sure). I do have one clown fish in there helping out the cycling process and he's doing great. my sand and salt water were in there for a week before the live rock.

now trying to add dry dead rock to the tank. what should I do? i rinsed it and boiled it for 30 mins. should i cure it in freshwater and watch parameters or will it be ok to add to tank? I have not had any spike in ammonia nitirtes nor nitrates. waiting!!!

You've only been set up for two weeks, I would just add it to what is already in there. Wouldn't add any more livestock either until the cycle is over.

I'd just toss them in there after a rinse as mentioned above and focus on getting a skimmer, that'll be a big help!
