Holey rock weight---how much is too much?

[bobgobucks]

I am setting up a 125 with UGF and just bought 130# of Holey Rock. That is not too much weight is it?

I got it for
$.13/ pound. Good price I think

I wish I could get it for $.13/pound!!! I am putting 150lbs in my 125, possibly more. I have like 110lbs in my 75. You should be fine.

give us your supplier pls

how porus is THR compared to LR in saltwater. I dont think Freshwater BB works as well as Saltwater BB in live rocks for maintaining good water quality. Someone correct me on this?

Tank bottoms are tempered...They can handle a TON. Just put some eggcrate down to evenly disperse the weight, and prevent sharp edges from putting pressure on small points. If you do that, there really is no limit.

That's a good idea, I've been worrying about my rocks putting to much pressure on one spot. I think at some point I'll put some crate down and put more rocks in.

OK. So, as I mentioned, I have an undergravel filter. This makes the egg crate unnecessary, right?
got the rocks at Gatz rockyard.
As far as the other comment, Xdragon, I don't think anyone knows wtf you are asking about and please refrain from the nefarious thread hijack.
