    how much sand

    How much sand should I use to make my sand bed. I have a 110 gallon but it is the 4 foot long version. Around how many inches should i use. If you know the amount in pounds that would be a great help also. Should i use the same depth for the refugium also?

    Looking for a Tank w/ overflow(s) 90-150 gallons

    Fishman, Tell me about the condition of the tank. If it is in good shape and the price is good it may be worth my while, or maybe a meeting point could be arranged. Can't hurt to ask right?
