How much Gravel for 75G tank

[Ryanz27]

Im sure this has been asked before but I cant seem to find a good answer. Im setting up a 75g tank and was curious how much gravel I will need. My LFS sells the black looking gravel I want in bags of 20lbs each for $15. How many do you guys think I will need? 3?

I would go 3-4 depending on how deep you want in the tank.

I heard you should have a pound per gravel in your aquarium.

Your saying I need 150lbs of gravel in my tank? Thats $120. Doesn't sound right.. I might try 2 bags at first and see how that goes.
