HELP NEEDED WITH SAND

tobestarrr · Jun 29, 2008

hello all,

i have decided to get sand in my new tank thats coming on thrsday,

the problem is i dont know how much i need

the tank is a 96 litre
roughly 25 us gallons

please could you tell me what lb bag of sand i should get.

Is this for a freshwater tank? 25 pounds should be more than enough..depending on how deep you want it.

tobestarrr · Jun 29, 2008

yep this is for a tropical tank. the bags on the net come in 20's

will one of those be enough?

Blueiz · Jun 29, 2008

Yeah, it should be..again, depending on the depth you would like it to be..

tobestarrr · Jun 29, 2008

preferably deeper at the back

im not too sure about the depth really

about 4cm at the back and bout 2.5 3 at the front

I bought 50 lbs of pool filter sand for my 30 gallon and still had plenty left over for my 14 gallon! I love this stuff!

start with 25 lbs (or whatever the closes bag is) and then work from there. you can always add more or take some out.

tobestarrr · Jun 29, 2008

so you rekon 20lb bag will be ok?

does the black make the colours stand out? or what colour is best

You really dont want more than 2-3cm, front to back.
