Just wondering, I notice that it's a 90g tank you're selling that has over 200 pounds of live rock in it. Correct me if I'm wrong (I do suck at math) but I didn't think 200 pounds of live rock could fit into a 90g tank. Just curious if that's possible or not, I have seen 90g's with a little over a 100 pounds of LR in them and they looked fairly full so that is why I'm thinking 200 pounds would probably not fit.

Oh I know it was a very difficult decision
– but I’ll be travelling over seas next year and I’ll be gone for 6months, perhaps a year.

Yes more then 200lbs of live rock could fit in a 90g
(for any interested buyers I would be more then happy to weight it for them at my place)

I know the rule of thumb is one pound per gallon, but I like the look of lots of live rock in my tank and I always view it as extra "filter media” as it helps improve the water quality.

there are lots of different densities of rock available, I had over 260lbs of rock in my 90 originaly, about 4 years later I got rid of some and went to about 180lbs. I had mostly fairly dense jakarta rock If I was using branch fuji I probably would be luckey to get 180 lbs in the tank.
