Enough LR for 80 gal tank??

[pearsont74]

I have about 150lb of LR now plus about 15lb in my sump.
is this enough LR....am I done LOL
I didnt want to move on to anything else until I got all the LR needed
Its almost 2lb per gal....

 

[gilraen]

In my opinion that's enough...

Depends on the size and shape of your LR too. I have a 75 gal and 165lbs of LR. However, i think U R done with LR.

I researched this and found that 1.5 - 2 lbs per gallon is recommended. Anything more is personal preference as long as it does not interfere with water movement.

 

[pearsont74]

yeah....my LR has a few huge big pieces

I think you are just fine.

 

[malkore]

I too think you're fine at the current amount.

Sounds like enough to me I;m sporting about 80lbs in my 65gal.

You're all wrong. Wrong.

I would add in another 3 ounces. Just for the heck of it.

HAHA rob....
does it matter how muhc i have in my main tank vs sump?

Not really... it's all in the same water. Just depends on how much rock you want in your display tank. I have 100 lbs in my main, and 20 in my sump. I'm probably going to up it to 120 in my main, and 30 in my sump. Just make sure to put the best pieces in the main!

thats why i asked cause im thinkin of moving 1 smaller piece to my sump to help seed the other rock...about 5lb of the rock in my sump is dead base....small frags
