    I bought 35 pounds to put in my 34g tank. But, technically the "display area" of the tank is only 29g, I am told. Still, I didn't have room for all the rocks I got, so about three pounds of rock just sat bleaching in the garden all summer. Now that they are bright white, and free of bugs (I bleached them a couple months back), I am going to try to make some frag racks with them. Maybe I will even take a picture or two of the process.

    I like less rock for sure. I think less is certainly more in a display tank. You have to do things to provide hiding places but if you plan it out you can accomplish this with a lot less rock than conventional thinking tells us. The more open you can make it the better for flow, cleaning, ect.
