substrate math questions
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2021 8:57 pm
Hello all!
Getting back into having crabbies after a 10+ year hiatus. I'm getting my new tank tomorrow (20 gallon long). I've read the info about the ratio of sand to eco earth, but I wanted to make sure that I had my math right on the amounts.
I'm getting a 20 gallon long tank and I'm looking for about 6 inches of substrate. With the 5:1 ratio that means I should need about 100 lbs of sand and two bricks of eco earth? I'm using the info on the substrate guide that says that 10 lbs of sand fills approx 1 gallon of space.
Sorry, math has never been my strong suit!
