Hey just thaught id ask how much sand will i need for my 175g tank ( 663 liters ) preferably in KGs / pounds works too il just calculate it ^^ dont got the tank yet but i got the light ramp the filter and gonna build the bench in weekend .
 
i'd say 50 kilos should be good for you
 
Ehm sorry forgot to say its gonna be 67" 25" "24 about ? 170cm lenght / 65cm deep / 60cm high i want it about 1-1.5 inch maybe abit less deep sand , ty for the calculator i just want an idea basicly about how much sand im gonna need so i dont have to go grab another bag later on :)
 
atm its gonna be a RTC / Redline snakehead , 2 smaller asiaticas i know it wont fit the first ones for life but theyr still not that big so they will do fine for now =D
 
i just setup my 100 gallon and used the good ol 1 lb of gravel for 1 gallon of water, so i used 100lbs, and there is a perfect amount of rocks in there, hope that helps. also on the bags that i bought from the fish store said use up to 2 lbs for max creative possibilities
 
I put 200lbs of pool sand in my 180gal, there is a good layer on sand, no idea how thick all around but I will guess at least 1.5"
