I would do 1 to 1.5 lbs live rock per gallon as far as the flame scallop don't even waste your time 99.99999% of the time they die in captivity even experts avoid them like the plague they need ton's of small single celled algae and very fine 1mm sized zooplankton sized food and still usually die. And, need a mature tank over 2 years older or more to even have a chance at a slow death.

hells no on the flame scallop...


your tank is about 25 gallon, i'd aim for about 30-40 pounds of rock for that
