how do i let the dark side take over?

I would find the pieces that suit what you need and see what it weighs. I always use about a half pound per gallon and that works well while still leaving room for fish to swim around. More rock is more places for detritus to build up.

I would suggest to use as much LR as possible, I went with just under 1LB / Gallon. Your tank will be up and running a lot quicker with cured LR rather than without.

If you have time, read through as many posts on here as you can to learn from fellow Canreefer's experiences. Hopefully you can learn from someone else's mistake rather than your own.

If you don't have time, MAKE SOME! Believe me, it'll be worth it!

Good luck!

Thanks everybody on the responses. I ended just buying LR from a LFS.
