I hope you're reading this, because it means you visit websites after a complete stranger writes the link for you on a piece of scrap paper while waiting in line.
Which is funny in itself, but I digress.
Good move - this is a fun place to be. Let us help you buy fish for your 55g tank. By 'help', I mean with information, not with money.
Oh, and return some of that gravel - you can use as much or as little as you want, 1 pound per gallon is a way to get you to buy more of it. And it traps a lot of fish poo down in there.
Remember, next time you gotta buy something, go to the petsmart website and print out the online price. . .

So, what exactly is this about :silly:
By the way, I think I need a teeny tiny bit more than 1 pound per gallon if 45+ pounds of gravel in my 30g is only about 2" deep (poor plants...). I'm aiming for 3-4 inches of sand in the 75g. How many pounds would that be? :D

for your future substrate purchaces...
but it depends on the foot print of the tank not the capacity.

usually if you are buying play sand, (at least in lowe's or home depot) there is a weight/mass chart either on the bags or on the shelves with the price tags that tells you how much you need to get a depth of x inches based on square footage. i used about 30-35 pounds of it in my 55g and it's 1-2 inches deep.

Ty, I think I'll buy 3 more bags and see how 150 does me :) gotta love playsand, 44 pounds for 3.49$
Btw, I just made sense of this thread, AKA I just said I'm slow. Smooth move, Wata ;)

That's what fishing is about. Casting a little bait and seeing if it gets taken...
