[mikeb5479]

i am getting a 29 gallon tank how much live rock should i get? but how much can i have to cycle it? i had a 29 gallon reef but that was 2 years ago so i have forgoten alot of things. and also i am only having this 29 for a year max year and a half before i get my own house and get a 90, could i put a baby yellow tang in there for that little time?
thanks alot

usually 1lb per gallon. 29gallon=29lbs of LR, or more depending on your prefrence.

I have a 29 running right now and I was able to stack 53 lbs in it ..from the bottom to almost the top...looks good to me...but it is all about preference
