[koiman6]

How many inches of sand would you recommend for a 10 gallon and how many pounds would that be <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

A four inch DSB would require approximately 30 lbs.

For a DSB I'd suggest 3"-6" depending on what you want...and to figure the amount needed use this formula:
length x width x .0579x desired depth of DSB = lbs sand needed

that's a pretty good formula nm, seems to be pretty dead on as far as my calculations go. thanks for sharing that..very helpful..
