After the tank cycles, you dont want to come back and add a bunch more rock. It will make the whole cycle start over again. I started with 55lbs in my 75g...and it wasn't enough!!! but a single dead shrimp in the tank will make it cycle....read as much as you can before making a move!!! then you'll be a best prepared as you can... Good Luck! Scoffer
