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.

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.

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.

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.
