I was wondering how many inches everyone would recommend on a 180 gallon reef tank w/ LR. Thanks for your help.

Honestly, I would remove the crushed shell bed. It is a breeding ground for Nitrates and it would be better to go just sand.
As far as the original post asked I would do a 3 to 4 inch sand bed. Leaves room for the sand sifting critters.

after a little searching i see that SWF.COM has 2 types of live sand that are alot different in price, premium keys sand is 109$ for 40 lbs, where as natures ocean is only 50$ for 40 lbs. is the natures ocean a OK way to go? should i mix the 2? would that be better? thanks again
