I'm building a 200 gal tank(or close to). How much sand do you think i will need for a dsb? I'm thinking 200 + pounds.Should i glue the base rock to the bottom?
Like I said thats an estimate. The calculator uses a weight per sq inch that is in the middle of a wet sand weight and a dry sand weight. So if you put dry sand in then you will need less than that and if you use a real wet sand then you will need more than that. Also since every type of sand has a slightly differnt weight per sq inch a middle of the road number is best.
