dont you just love life. with all the advances in skimmers, phos media, the increased use of macros and refugiums among other things, the lbs/gal rule has never changed. perhaps its time for a update on that huh.

one thing i can think of is that most rock will provide the tank with a buffer system. not the most effective but over time will help keep things on a even keel. mabe a mute point considering the various buffers we now know about. but some dont know the difference between type of buffer out there. more rock would aid the tank in these cases.
