I have 115 lbs in my tank right now and no problems yet. If anything it is much more solid then live rock so it displaces a lot of water which means a smaller amount of water but no complaints on my end. After it grows coraline algae you won't be able to tell the difference. Just make sure you rinse it really well and try to buy clean rock that isn't 'dirty' looking. I bought it for $0.48/lb so about $50.00 for 115 lbs. I think its a good option if you don't want to spend $5 or $10/lb on base rock.

How long have you had it in your tank?

I've had the majority for a couple months but some of it is over a couple years old. I purchased the largest amount for the base rock in my new 210gal which I'll be setting up soon. I have it all 'stuffed' in my system so it's ready to go with the new tank
