![]() right now I wouldnt add anything......the tank will likely experience a "mini-cycle" from the transfer...adding fresh live rock to it now will just make things worse.....let the tank settle down for a couple weeks....then if you feel you want more rock you can add 2-5lbs at a time, letting things settle down in between...... or if you choose the dead rock route you can pretty much add that at anytime.....

![]() I was going to put in more inverts this weekend because i only have 3 hermit crabs at the moment, should i hold of on that? just a few snails and i guess a few more hermits due to the larger tank now.

![]() I would just leave it as is right now. Let it settle for a week or so at least.
Leave the snails till the algae starts growing.

![]() +1 on letting it settle in for awhile. In the meantime, you could put some live rock in a rubbermaid with a powerhead and heater. Get the curing started and add it later. Should help save another cycle when you add the extra rock.
