Add slowly as to not kill off existing bacteria from nutrient loss.When I add or change out rock I do 10-15 lbs. per week and have zero problems.

for about 100g of water, you can "have" about 1/3 of the rock would looks great in your tank.

BUT, make sure your rocks are fully cured before you add them in your tank, if they are not cured, I would say on the safe side, add about 7-lb or so at a time.

you can find many articles on the web about how to cure live rock, here is one of them on a quick search http://www.livestockusa.org/CURING.html
