How many lbs of sand?

Bristlenose Chuck · Jan 5, 2006

Hi,
Im thinking of putting a sand substrate in my 45 gallon and I was wondering how much sand I will need. Ive always done 1lb/gallon with gravel but Im not sure with sand. The tank is 3'x1'
Thanks

Try this link:

Scroll down near the bottom. Put in the dimensions, and your desired depth, and it spits out the number of pounds. Thank the people over at shelldwellers.com for pointing this one out.
