I have aproximately 230lbs of live rock, my total volume is aproximately 150 gallons (including sump).

Most of mine is in my display, some in the sump.

I plan to add a 90 gallon second display in series and a larger sump moved down to the basement sometime in the future. I will not add significant rock to my system when I do.

I have a fair amount of Chaeto in my display, I rarely run a skimmer ( I have a cheap, ugly drop in the display one ).

My softies and LPS do decent, I am able to keep a few tough to keep fish species alive as well as my long tentacle anemone. My Amonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate have read zero for a while, so I assume I'm doing something right, lol.
