Any idea how many pounds of LR I have?

I don't even know how to begin guessing. Please give me your best guess.

For reference this is a 55 gallon tank. I can't fit any more rock in the tank comfortably.

Just a wild guess - 50 to 75lbs. provided it was a density equal to Fiji Rock..

Yes it is. Thanks - keep em coming... I want to get a rough estimate so I will have a good idea of what I will need when I upgrade tank sizes.

Thanks guys... this may have a bearing on what size tank I get... will I have enough rock to use a 90 RR?

I am using a ER ES5-3 skimmer.

i'm a beliver you can never have to much rock, or tank (i've got 450 lbs in my 180). get as big a tank as you can practicaly get, you dont have to cram it full of rock to start with, you can add it a little at the time as you get the $$$ to do so.

No, you need some fresh rock for your new tank IMO, but what you have will get you started. I'd also say about 75 pounds, if it's Fiji rock.
