I went under reef central sandbed calculator it recommend 208 lbs of sand for a 3" sandbed , but then under GARF calculator that tells me to do 158 lbs.
Which of the 2 are correct ? Or should I just meet in the middle and do 175 lbs.
Also started on canopy last night . Trying to finish it hopefully by sat .

I used the Garf calc when setting up my tank. It calculated that I needed 350 pounds for a 3" bed. I bought nine 40 pound bags totaling 360 pounds. Solid 3 " bed.
