last time when I add 40# of dead rock in the 210. everything went downhill fast!

However, if you have the time to treat and cure the "not so alive" rocks, you will probably be ok.

You have the zeo stuff, so why don't you do the 14 day zeo cycle in the bucket? Take a few pounds of 'good' live rock and do the 14 day job. I did that you months ago when adding 100 lbs of dead rock to my system and it worked very well!

You'll need to remind me what the zeo 14 day thingy is!

I added about 20 to my 180, no issues at all. No localized algae, etc.
