My tank is 2 months old and has a bunch of inverts in it. All the rock is Life Rock that cycled.
I wanted to add a few more branched pieces into my tank. Can I do this withouth any chemistry/cycling issues?
All the fish are still in QT
 
It usually depends on how much is added and how the rock was transported to your home.
sometimes there's a little die off on the new rock.
 
Indeed I added 10 pounds of FLR in my 5 year old tank and not a single issue even with the slight die off
 
If you don't add too much rock at once I don't think you will run into any trouble. I would add 25% new rock at once maximum.
 
Just noticed your icon, I have friends that rescued 1 that I watch from time to time.

Thanks! That is one of my dogs named Kingston. He is Belgian Malinois/Czech Shepherd working line dog I rescued when he was 7 weeks. He is a great dog. My 13 month olds best friend.
