Adding dry once live rock to tank?

[littleclownfish11]

Ive got about 28lbs of dry rock that used to be live rock that I want to add to my tank I moved from a 55 to 75 and am wanting to add some more base rock. I bleached it and rinsed it and soaked it in R/O water with prime and then put it out to dry my question is when is it safe to add to my tank and how much can I add at a time?

if its truly dry rock with no living matter on it then you can add as much as you want wont cause you any spikes or anything

well it used to be live in someones tank but it was pretty dry when i got it. I bleached just to be safe.

 

[qasimja]

you should be good then if you bleached it and dried it out

Awesome so once its completely dry I can just add it to my tank?

 

[qasimja]

as long as it doesnt have any living matter on it yup it will become live again over time

Thanks! It should be pretty much free of anything since I bleached it and sat it in the sun for 2 days to dry out I would think
