assuming you have about 20 gallons, you need approx 1 kg per 2 gallons = 10 kilo's.

Never been there so cant comment

10kg sounds good to me... Of course it all depends on what your gonna keep in there.. if its just shrimp etc then you can have10kg and almost nothing else.. if your having some fish you may want some mechanical filtration to help with the watse. If you have quite a few fish then youll want more live rock and higher mechanical filtration.. the fish are the worst for waste which is the problems you get in the tank.
You may consider putting live rock with live sand.. youll get a higher rate of waste removal and will also give you another aspect of live stuff in there.. hope that helps.
