live rock?

[asbury030]

i just bought a 29 gal. and i would like to know how much live rock i could put in there?

How much "can" you put in there?
Depends on the density of the rock. In general, a pound or so per gallon is a good starting base.

Rule of thumb is about 1.25 - 1.5 lbs. per gallon. But alot depends on the rock density, and also what you want it to look like. As long as you leave room for the fish to swim, you can add as much as you want.
