Default Live Rock, A little of each or mainly one type

I am starting a 50 gallon FOWLR tank. I was wondering is I should buy a box of Kanai Live rock or a box of premium Fiji Rock. OR should I mix them and have a bit of both plus some tonga. Just with the big pieces I don't think I could fit more than 60 pounds of the stuff. What do you guys think.

You should be able to fit more than 60 pounds. Most recommendations range from 1 - 2.5 pounds/gallon. Some rock is very porous and others are quite dense. You could order the 70 pounds of Kanai LR and add other types and sizes of cured LR to your FOWLR system later, but that is really your decision.
