alot of people use 2-3 lbs per gallon, i have around 60lbs in my 33g some jakarta some tonga branch.i think its more on the rock you use, the layout of your tank and what you plan to have in there
in my new 200g i plan on having 100lbs of liverock in the sump alone and close to 200 in the display
like danialla said though porus rock is much better for pod production and its lighter too so you will get bigger pieces or more bang for your buck. 25 lbs of tonga branch could fit into a five gallon bucket while i have some pieces in my liverock bin that are around 10lbs and could fill two buckets
my female was eating frozen but should note that most that eat frozen will eat pods as well.
