When i had mine up and runnning I had around 65 to 70 pounds of live rock. I didnt have any base rock. But it is all the same when you get it cycled any ways. Hope this helps. Dustin

i have 30 lbs in my biocube right now... it looks nice.... but its very porous so its light and takes up a lot of room.... you might wanna go with 40-45 lbs... hope this helps

I am thinking of ordering the 45-50 lbs from this site
anyone ever ordered it... I did the math and if you order the most its only like 3.80 or so for premium... not bad.
Is the rock nice? Or should I just get some base and lr from my lfs... they have 3.49 a pound but it its just regular live rock... the pic on this site looks like it has a lot more growth on it.

Thats a touchy question on this site. I liked the rock that I got from this site a few years ago, but it is always a good Idea to get a few pieces just so you can do what you want with your rock. I had to so that I could stack it the way I wanted to. But every box is different.

This is the rock I got. Nice coraline growth a couple of hitchhikers, the slab ledge pieces are the only rocks not from this site in the photo.

AZFishgal got her rock here as well, also pleased.
