pounds per gallon

[kilo]

I want to build a small reef 29 gallon. How many pounds of rock should I get. I am not sure whether i am going to do a small reef or a live rock with small fish

[Tat2dBrownDude]

depends on what type of live rock, but usually 1.5 lbs per gallon is about right.

Depending on what kind of rock you get, you will want about 30 to 45 pounds.

I hate it when someone else posts at the same time, and I come up second, saying the same thing ;)

I love the tonga branch rock and only use about 1lb/gal

I have about 35 pounds or so in my 28 and I think its just the right amount. I have some pics in my gallery take a look. It is fiji rock so it very porious too.

I would say 1.5-2lbs/gal. But you gotta make sure that you're not getting dead zones if you get too much LR. You need flow everywhere.

(Here comes some arguements with this comment? Maybe? We'll see...)
