I have some rock from my other tanks to add to the new tank. Is adding it to the sump enough or do I need to add some into the main display to get the benefits and the coraline? If I do need to add some into the tank, how much so I can leave some room in the scape to add

Thanks

Depended on how fast you want the coraline, i'd add it to the display. It would eventually find its way into the display from the sump, but it'd be quicker to go straight into the display. And how much to add is really going to depend on your tank size and what kind of scape you want to do :)

here's what I have. I can maybe add the live rock to the "hidden" rocks behind the scape or put one or 2 on the top
