No expert myself (hence my user name) but I've decided on the same approach with LR. I just picked out some really nice pieces as well and decided I didn't want the rest. I expect this is going to really prolong the process but will be worth it in the end. I'm thinking adding it in stages would be similar to adding more fish with mini cycles occuring everytime. Perhaps this may be even better than all at once which could result in a large ammonia spike? The smaller additions might even help keep your live rock "livelier" with less die off from ammonia/nitrite spikes?
Just thinking out loud here, curious to read what experienced members think.
