I added life rock to an existing tank on a couple of occasions, though I already had a lot of rock in the tank. It's pretty dense concrete, so not sure how much it would help the biofilter; but it will work fine as hiding places.

Why would it create another cycle? When it comes to dry rock, usually you just rinse it really good to get all the dust/debris off it and put it in the tank.
makes sense but pretty sure i read somewhere if you add dry rock it can cause a mini cycle
