How much rock

[MyboyJoJo]

Hi all
Coming back to marine after 40yrs. things have changed a bit!
How much rock do I need for Red Sea Reefer 625 XXL. Dont want to overload it though.
Not sure what you get in a 40lb box of Caribsea Life Rock. Is some brands of rock more dense so that you get less for your money? Kept freshwater and marine aquarium for short while back in the 70s. Koi for 40yrs.

The standard is a pound of rock for every gallon. Some rocks are less porous. BRS has an episode about this in their 52 weeks of reefing series:

Welcome back to the marine life, things have changed but mostly for the better.

There’s lots of brands of rocks and sources to buy from. This site is awesome for info. I also go to BRS-bulk reef supply and marine depot. They have a good library of vids.

We like pix so post them as you go and ask question some
