it all depends on how deep you want the sand...

Check out this link. Scroll down to the bottom, there's a sand calculator. You enter the dimensions of your tank and how deep you want the sand to be and it tells you how many pounds you'll need.

i put 75# in my 150 and still ended up removing some. I suggest buy a 50# bag and see out you like that before buying another

Does it cover completely? The calculator said for 3 inches, you need like 400 lbs. for a 72x24.
