[grubsnaek]

im setting up a 29g tank. and looking to get 20lbs of sand. how much will it cover the tank, and how deep will that be...
just food for thought i will have a fuge with DSB, so no need to get into depth discussions....

I am not sure is 20 lbs of sand is enough. I have a 29g (30" long) and I needed 30 lbs to get about a 1/2 inch bed across my tank.

Im rly new to this hobby but i can actually answer this question AND provide pics if u want..lol
My tank is 30 gal 36'' long 12'' wide and I could barly get 1/2'' consistantly probably more like 3/8 and 1/4 in some places with 20lbs. My avatar pic is my tank with 20lbs of Natures Ocean LS with a few sea shells on the bottom.
