So I have wanted to change my aquascape around a bit but I already have pre-established rock in my tank so below I have a picture of the rock that I wish to add, also you can see my diy box algae scrubber that works amazing, my plan is to add a pump in the sump that gose into another one of those box’s add the new rock in the box also include a clamp light.I then would let this sit for a month or so then make the adjustment in my display area.what are your thoughts/suggestions on my idea or a completely new idea for adding and replacing rock inside my tank?

forgot to mention the picture with the new rock being shown and the algae scrubber are 3 months old becuase the algae scrubber is now full and is hard to get a good picture of and for the one with the new rock, that rock has been in a bucket with a heater and pump cycling so I didn’t want to take it out and reenact this picture again

You could do as you suggest or you could just put it straight in when you decide we’re you want it, that’s what I do anyway
 
I just threw mines in and it looked like the others in no time
