Doug, as an example, look at the 2011 full tank shots thread. You can see where i started with 1/2lb per gallon. Then find one of my more recent pics and you can see that all that space is now gone.
Try to envision what the corals will take up in a year or two.

As a reference, I have about 100 pounds in my 180 and the fish are running out of swimming room.

That I am my friend...

I have 50# of Pukani, so guess its all I will use and a couple flat ones I bought to do my overflow but they skinny.

Wanna buy a tub full of Fiji.....
