    I'm looking at buying 25#s of the reef saver rock for my 75 g I'm wondering what all does it take to get this rock to be able to add it into my 75 gallon or if I can just rinse it off and put it right in??

    Is your tank already set up? Or are you setting it up now ?

    Just rinse and drop it in. I've never had an issue with adding any dry rock to an existing system.

    No need to worry about phosphates Leeching out of the rock?

    Here is a pic of my tank as of today. It's a 75g. How many pounds of the reef saver rock do you guys think I should order to "fill in" my tank a little better? 25? 50?

    Rocks are not inherently polluted with phosphates; that usually comes from being in a neglected aquarium.
