if you have a 55 gal then youll prob need more. i dont have a pic right now but bought 40-45lbs and i had 6 and it only fills up about half my tank high covered with lr. the top half is all water but i had to chase a fish trying to catch him so it doesnt look to good. but when i move it and get the rock setup right then it will be ok.

Here is my 20-21 lbs of fiji LR, but I didn't get it from here. You might not getg 25 lbs of LR if ordering from here because it is listed as 20-25 lbs and that weight includes the packaging materials too.

nice rock,thanks everyone.when u got your rock did you put it in your tank right away or put it in a seperate tank first to cure it

It depends if it is fully cured rock or partially cured rock. If its not completely cured you can't add it to a display without having problems. If you are starting a first tank and cycling it then it would be fine to add it directly.

I purchased 20-25 pounds of Fiji premium LR from SWF.com for my 55G. I'd say it was closer to 25 pounds. Sorry no pics. They told me that it was cured and that I could put it right in the tank and that's exactly what I did. The skimmer went a little crazy, but I had no other problems to speak of. When I got the LR my tank had already been setup for about 7 months and I had fish and a clean up crew living in it. They showed no signs of stress. I was extremely pleased with my order.
