how many pounds is too much?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would just take out the large pieces and stay with your smaller slimer ones.

as for wather the tank will hold the weight. I would say it would as long as you lower them very slowly and don't crack the glass.
 
Egg crate is a good idea. It will prevent pressure points from the edges of the rocks.
