Quick question...how much gravel should I put in a standard rectangle 30 gal tank?
EMTtony said:1 to 1 1/2 pounds per gallon is what I have been told, but being a rectangle tank it has less bottom surface area. So you can probably do less, I guess.

I think you've confused 'rectangle' - the normal shape of a normal aquarium, with 'hexagonal' or 'tall' - which does in fact have a smaller foot print and less surface area.
