I have 30lbs in my 20 high and it's a little over 2". The footprint of the tank is 24x12 inches. Scale for your dimensions 
100lbs and you'll be at 2"

From Aquarium Set-up: How Much Substrate Do I Need for my Aquarium?
The simplest rule of thumb to use is to plan 1 lb of substrate per gallon to achieve a 1" bed. Or 2 lbs per gallon for a 2" bed.

I just broke down my 75g and added 90 pounds of sand. It was close to 1.5". I would guess around 120 would get you close to 2".
