So what I wanted to do is add a LOT of live rocks, kilograms, maybe 1/2 of my tank but I'm not sure if this will me healthy or will mess up parameters in the tank (remember it's a cold tank I add live rock straight from the beach with a lot of mussels and algae) I wanted to do this to make the tank look better, add more natural livestock (attached filter feeders) and just make it more natural like the place I found the animals, so should I do this? I'd have two options
Alot of rocks
Few rocks
Because this is how my tank looks like, pretty empty for me, I also wanted to put more sand

Adding live rock could generate ammonia in the aquarium when organisms on the new rock fie.
