i had probably close to 300lbs of rock in my 180g when i first started. it filled the 180g + the 70g sump.

since then ive taken almost half of the rock out of the display because i didnt like the look. But i still have the rock so im planning a massive outdoor sump to store all the rock and add a big refgium and ATS

so basically what has happened is that I got a great deal on all the rock (really great deal) and ended up with too much rock so now im spending about $1000 on a new outdoor sump which technically would put me at a very bad deal on the really good deal rock.

I just put my rock in until I was happy with the look and added another 20lbs to the sump. I figure what's the point of following a "rule" if the results makes you hate the tank.
