How many lbs of rock should I get?

I am setting up my 210g and currently have 90lbs of rock bulk reef supply reef saver rock. I love it and want to just get more of it. I am thinking another 100lbs or should I get 125lbs? I don't like the look of a ton of rock but I'd also like to have options. I don't like reefs packed with rock so I'm thinking 190lbs of rock will be plenty for my 7x2x2ft tank.

150 lbs of reef saver would be plenty imho. Give your coral plenty of room. Helps with flow also.

Well I'll just order 100lbs and sell the rest so I have some good variety.
