130 pounds of rock to much?

Is 130 pounds to much live rock for a 100 gallon tank? I am concerned because it just looks a bit crammed in there after I put all my rock in. I just want the fish to have enough room to swim around.

I have around 400 lb of live rock total in the hold system and its a 180 gallon Display Tank. A really lot of my rock is in the sump/fuge. If the tank looks cramped, take some out until you like the look and put any left over rock into the sump/ruge. You can never have too much rock in a system IMO.
 
nope thats a good amount i usually put 1.5 pounds per gallon or a little more. i just notice tanks with more liverock can handle more stress. dead fish dying coral etc... coverting it all to nitrates before the ammonia gets to be a problem
