    I was just wondering how much live rock should I use to seed my base rock. I got 30 lbs of awesome base rock from reef cleaners. I'm sure I wont use all of it since I only have a 20 gallon long. I was thinking about 5 to 10lbs of live rock would be good.

    5 lbs would be fine. You dont need much, the bacteria will quickly spread to the base rock.
