How much sand for a 5'3' tank?

[jstavis]

How much sand do I need to get a decent covering for a 15 square foot tank?

Most bags will give a volume as well as weight, just take your tank length multiplied by the tank width and the depth of the sand you want.

a pound a gallon

x2 on 1lb/gal

Rinse your sand!!!!!
(Then rinse it again. and again)

Yeah, but a pound a gallon doesn't work b/c this is a 190 60x36x20

I just put 320 lbs in my 210 (7x2x2) a month ago. It gave me about 3" depth, maybe a bit more. I love it, and the "diggers" do, too! I used "Peace River" by CaribSea - it is my new favorite substrate. It is gorgeous.
