Idea of how much 45 pounds of live rock is...

[Brock Fluharty]

Can anyone give me an idea of how much 45 pounds of fiji premium live rock from liveaquaria is? It is 45 pounds, but I don't know really how much it'll be...just tell me wether you think 45 pounds will fill up the rest of my tank from this picture...can't find the camera cable, so i'll draw one! Lol!

Oops...did that resize? If not, sorry!

EDIT: Sorry, it's a 75 gallon tank!

How much LR do you have in there now????

[Brock Fluharty]

I don't know the exact poundage, but that picture represents the look of how much is in there. I don't know how much because I bought a little bit here, a little there, and bought 30 pounds of base rock from hirocks, so I don't really know.

Fiji premium LR is quite dense...so you will get some great looking rock but it will not fill as much space as some of the other kinds of rock out there.... I would think it would give you enough rock in your system with out making it look like a pile of rock....or a rock wall!!!

Do you know what is the most porous, and least dense? In your opinion, of course.

Kaelini live rock is from Tonga is teaming with life...it is very porous and takes up a lot of space.... I don't know if it is the least dense but it is great rock!!!

My vote is also for the kaelini rock!

[Doctor_Reef]
