Ok I have set up my tank with 80lbs of live rock. 50lbs fiji and 30lbs of key west (I live in florida so cheap). But all I have is round bricks stacked up I have done the best I can to make it look good. However after reading the post on how many lbs per gallon. I am wandering I should not take most of the rocks with not much visible life on them. Crush em up to big chunks and out it throughout my sump -my fuge I have a deep sand bed in there. The reason I ask is the lfs has really really nice dry rock. Yes dry rock no life. But I could do some cool aqua scaping with it. And I think in time it will become live. And do like you guys said just wait intill I find really cool pieces and add it slowly after cureing it if its live. The lfs says they get cool pieces in all the time but they sell fast. But even the dry is cool. then I would have more than 2lbs a gallon. Sorry for the long post just a thought I had.Here is a pic of the tank dont mind the alge it only 3 weeks old. Umless you know ssomething I can do to help. The cyno especially but I think it is from a rookie mistake I made in the biging. I put some home made food in but way to much and overfed quite a bit. I think I have that under control now. I also hear it can come from the diatoms that are just starting to go away.
