Yes 90 kg of rock is what I have roughly but if I take out half the tank would look quite bare cheers

@jacklad99 I guess it comes down to a matter of preference. My friend has a 90g tank with a whpping 200 pounds of live rock. Good luck.

Wow super quick reply didn't expect that , yes its 100 g uk bout 120 us gallons with about a 30g sump thing with only 100 lbs of rock tanks would look empty to much rock wouldnt be a bad thing would it . will check out your vid in a bit will be getting rid of one canister filter I might buy some miracle mud tomorrow , do you have to change the mud or once it's in that's it . Cheers

@jacklad99 Half the mud must be changed out on a yearly basis. I though 90 kilos was about 198 pounds of rock. I have a 90g system with about 90 pound of live rock and only 50 pounds of it are in the main display, the rest are in the first stage of the sump. Good luck.

Another good vid , few questions , my 100 g tank has been running 3 years now .only got one coral , lots of fish want to get rid of quite a few fish and add corals , I'm currently have about 90 kilos of live rock , run a protein skimmer , and 2 external canister filter . I have now made a custom sump all plumbed in but not siphoning as of yet , because not sure what to add ie... Dsb or miracle mud , cheato , live rock ect , the sump is new nothing in it ,I have taken skimmer out of display put

@jacklad99 So you have a 100g tank with 200 pounds of live rock a skimmer and 2 canister filters? If I were you, I would have only 100 pounds of live rock, and use only one canister for carbon and phosphate media. The live rock should be more than enough biological filtration for this tank, and you only really need about 1 pound per gallon. For the refuge, you can watch my 90g build process to witness how I set up my sump. I also cover a bit of the sump on my cycle video and aquascape video.

@iliriano6 No problem :)

My bad posting from my phone, it acting up.

[newyorksteelo]

@iliriano6 Whoa buddy you posted the same question like 6 times. Please only post the same question once and i will get around to it when i can. The information you seek is found on my videos. I have a 4 part video that covers the maintenance routines I use including dosing the system, and also cover dosing supplements on another video titled "Reef Aquarium Supplement Additives & Testing". Its all there buddy. Good luck.

I know, but with the miracle mud system, what do you add?
