Live Rock

[Volsman85]

I have a 36 gal BF with 22.5 ibs of LR. Take has been up for about 100 days. Everything seems to be going fine. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to adding more LR?

I had a tank like that one. I had quite a bit of live rock in it. It was nice but if I had it to do over with that same tank I would have used less rock and added a couple of those magnetic rocks for some dimension. It’s a tall tank. As far as actual advantages I guess you would have more beneficial surface area for things like copepods and bacteria. More hiding spots for fish. More spots for corals maybe. But also more dead zones for detritus to build up.

things like these magnet frag rocks. Several different types. They work well for putting a little dimension without staking a bunch of rocks.
