1.5 pounds per gallon is the norm, I believe.

Usually 1 - 2lbs per gallon, in this case prob with more, smaller pieces vs. 1 big one. So 7-14 lbs would be fine.

go with a lot of small pieces, it will look alot cooler than one big piece. more of that reef effect.

is it a bowfront? my buddy just broke down his 7gallon bowfront in his kitchen, it had 11lb lr and 7lb ls. It looked great with that much.
