how much live rock to put in

[chris31]

i have a 95 g tank and to start of like while my tank is cycling i was gonna put in about 100 puonds. I want to put more then that in but can i keep adding rock along the way like after my tank is cycled and stuff or do i have to put it all in at once pritty sure i dont but just want to make sure.

Usually everyone recomend 2lbs per gallon. So 180lbs should do the trick.

You should be able to continue, but I would make sure that you cure the rock seperately before adding it.

2lbs depending on the rock can be wildly off, I recommend starting conservative and doing 1lb per gallon and moving in more as needed.

Put in the amount that you like that looks good to you. Don't overstock your tank with fish, and add extra rock when you buy pieces of corals. As long as the rock is cured you should be find adding some slowly. Just make sure you have enough in your tank to support your fish load. Lots of fish = lots of live rock.

I'd go with 100lbs live, and 100 lbs base.

Yeah, go with the 100lb to start. You can always add more if need be during the cycle.
