27 Pounds Live Rock in 38g Nuvo Good??

(Bold question is one I need answered currently.)

I'll start just adding questions to this post so if you guys don't mind helping me, please please check this post often!

Is the 27 pounds live rock in my 38g Nuvo good? I added 5 more today and it looks good, I feel like I have good coral room and it looks full. Is it good??

Added a picture with first set of rock and one with second set

 

Copepods, isopods, amphipods.

Here's a good resource.

All is good. Those little guys you see runnin around on your rocks are good guys.

 

+1 to sushi girl! but lets keep 1 post per subject! If not, ya water down the answers! Pic's are really whats needed here! But chances are 90% are cool!

 

Yeah sorry about the posts, I'm just gonna do them in here and update it. Most are too small to get pictures but I'm trying!

 

If you want when you have a new question you can edit the title of the thread by going to your first post and changing it. Much better for Matt/Mods if we keep the forum as clean as possible!!! Good luck and ask away!!

 

Yeah I have accounts on a few forums I just haven't been on in awhile!

 

You are probably a little light on live rock if you are depending on it to provide the natural filtration you need. You usually see 1 to 2 lbs per gallon of system wate ras a recommendation so you have enough surface area for colonizing bacteria to do their thing. You will probably need to have other methods of filtration or media to keep up with a medium to high bioload.

 

I want to see how it goes before I do that. I really feel like it's enough, plus I know lots of people that have done this in their Nuvo and it turned out real good. Not members here from what I've seen in a Nuvo, but a neighbor has a 30 with 20 pounds and a 38 with 25 and both worked out.
