question...

[fishsticks]

when adding liverock do you go by the tank size, say my tank is 20 gallons and i add 1.5 pounds per gallon so my total is 30pounds of liverock....

or does it go by how much physical water is in the tank say the tank is 20 gallons and i add 20pounds of liverock and the tank wont hold the full 20gallons so there is only like 15gallons in there... does this make any sense?

and i got my ammonia under control its at 0 again, now im planning to add fully cured liverock with purple already growin on it....

i have a 30gallon nano with 30pounds of liverock how much more should i add????? i was thinking adding 10 more pounds

i have 6 1inch fishes

That is just a general rule, no need for all of the physical water or tank volume stuff. It goes by tank volume though most of the time, but depending on how porous the rock is you can get away with less than 1 pound per gallon, whereas some rock you would need alot more than that. If you have room for the rock and its fully cured then I do not see why not, more cannot hurt, but never trust anyone that tells you rock is "fully" cured, unless you cure it yourself you will never truly know.
