well, they say at least 1 pound (not sure what a pound weighs in london though :) ) per gallon, so at least 15 pounds....More is always better, but IMO you cant keep a whole lot of fish in a 15 anyways, so you'd be fine getting the minimum...

I would say that as a general rule a pound per display gallon works pretty well, but it depends on the rock and your taste. I have a 12 gallon that has maybe 8 pounds of rock, but it's very light, porous rock that takes up a lot of room, and I like the "open" feeling of my tank, with a large open sandbed in the front.
It's all up to you, buddy =)
