The amount of live rock you should have in a reef tank is between a minimum of 1 pound per gallon and a maximum of 1.75 pounds per gallon. Somewhere in the middle, like 1.35 pounds per gallon, would be ideal. Do not exceed 1.75, unless you want to turn some quality live rock into base rock, which would take at least a year to recover and resemble what it was before other rock was stacked on top of it. Good Luck!!!!!

General rule of thumb is that you want 2 pounds per gallon. However you can start with much less and let if grow. And I do not believe Petco or Petsmart sell live rock.

Take your time, most live rock needs a little cleaning. Eventually 1lb of live rock per gallon is good. Over 1.5 lbs and you need to make sure each piece is stable and not getting smothered by the neighboring rocks.
