how much dry marcorock would people recommend for a new 250gallon DD?

i don't want it to be filled with rock, more in the moderate to light side.

my stacking was horible in the pictures, and i re-did it recently and its perfect.
with a 250 DD, your not going to have to cover the same length of tank, so with 100lbs of rock, plus some live to seed it, you should be fine.

(my rock was from BRS bulkreefsupply but is the same type or rock)

In my 250DD I went with 150lbs and configured in as an open berm, there is plenty of caves and yet its open enough to allow water flow through the rock work.

boxer385 I am currently running a SRO XP-5000 and it does a great job. I have about 16 fish two of which are tangs, the others are Anthias and Wrasses.
