Sand Bed Calculator problems...

[ervine]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out how many bags of 0 sand I need to do up a DSB for my 2.5'x1.5' tank... but the tank calculators seem to give a value back to me in lbs, how to convert this value into no. of bags?

Also how much is a bag of no. 0 sand?

Thanks!

PS: BTW, can 2 guys carry a 2.5'x1.5'x2' 10mm tank? Or do I need to "hire" more help?

You'll need abt 6 bags for 4" DSB.

2 person is necessary...to carry your tank....try carrying yourself and you know...its heavy!!!

Weileong did a right estimate..its 6 bags of sand

[roidan]

each bag 10kg....6bags is 60..almost like lifting a human weight on your finger/palm....hehe
