Okay, well through everyone's help I have found the gravel/sand that I need. I have decided that I would prefur sand over gravel. Regardless I am trying to find a ruff estimate of what I need to order in pounds. I have a 90 gallon tank and obviously I want like 3 inches of substrate. If anyone can give me a ruff estimate I would appreciate your help.
thanks

2-3 inches is best. maybe its different with sand, but i had HUGE problems in my tank cauz i put 4-5 inches of gravel. my problem was that even when i was cleaning my gravel, i didnt clean the lower layer of gravel and all the shiit stayed there for months! my water had major nitrate and phosphate problems (sorry im not sure of the translation in english of nitrate and phosphate) the lesson i learned is that too much gravel can fuuck your tank up, especially with poluting fish such as Ps.
