I now have 30lbs of LS ans 14.5 of LR in my 40g hex tank. Is that enough or ok for a fish only setup. I didn't relive how expensive LR and LS is. Wow. I put so plane coral rock in there too. What do you guys think?
Since you are doing a fish only, I would say you would be fine. However Live rock won't do anything but make your tank better. It provides a place for all the beneficial bateria to grow. Also allows a place for pods and things to live and hide. I had my tank up for a year or so before I ever added any live rock and it did fine. I think yours will be fine too.
