how much lr is ok??????

[swfishfan]

i just started my cycle about 5 days ago and all is well so far. my tank is a 15 g tall tank so i have a lot of room to work with going up and a decent amount on the sides. so my question is how many pounds would be ideal for my tank? and what would be not enough? as of now i have three big rocks, weighed at about 4 lbs(all together), i have 20lbs of live sand,......
so thanks ahead of time to all who answer.....

well my lfs lady is like really nice and has a lot of experience with saltwater fish and she told me that i should have 1 pound of live rock for every gallon. hope this helps

1-2 lbs. of LR per gallon would be ideal. Go ahead and just add it to your tank since it's still cycling. But if you wait and add uncured LR it may extend your cycling time.
