Is there a live rock/ water ratio suggested, I don't want to have too much live rock, but I would like to add a little more, I have a 60 gallon salt water cube tank

you never can have too much, all about your preference. some would say pound per gal is good.
 
Twv is about 80 gals, my rock stack is 33lbs of Pukani. Here is a pic after about a month of it running. That was a year ago.

I prolly have 50ish pounds in my 65, basically, just make a rock structure that you like, rock isn't needed, but if you do not use rock, you're going to need to do a lot more water changes.

there really is no hard and fast rule - it used to be one pound per gallon and that can still be used as a guide. The more rock you have, the more biological filtration it provides. I would suggest some more for yours.
