When I started reefing back in the late 90's, the rule of thumb for live rock (LR) was 2 pounds per gallon. Like a good American, I figured a little more would help, so I crammed over 110 pounds of LR into my 55 gal tank. There wasn't much room for the livestock.
What's the current thinking on the amount of LR to use? I'm going to be setting up a 125 this summer, and will need some rock. I will be using a 4" DSB, and will have a 100g sump in the basement. In the future, I might plug a refugium into the system. How much LR need I purchase?
