Do you have the online calculator website? I'm going to be upgrading to a 55 gallon tank and need to know how many 50 lb bags of sand I'll need. Thanks!Links wrote:According to online calculator you’ll need 300 lbs or (.111 cubic yards) of sand for a 6 inch depth.

Thanks! It said 33 lbs. That doesn't seem like enough though. Hmmm...Links wrote: https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculat ... ulator.php

I upgraded to a 55 as well. It should be about 4 bags of 50lb playsand for 6 inches straight up.CrabbyLover77 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 6:38 pmDo you have the online calculator website? I'm going to be upgrading to a 55 gallon tank and need to know how many 50 lb bags of sand I'll need. Thanks!

6 should be right on the money (ish). But you should totally add a couple bricks of EE as well to add a bit more depth while you have the chance. It’d be a royal pain to add/mix later on if you change your mind after the crabs are burrowed in.

Thank you.Motörcrab wrote:I average one 50 pound bag for every 10 gallons of a tank. When you start getting into larger tanks like 55 and up the estimate ends up getting a bit off. Like everyone said 6 bags should work out. I always like to have an extra bag of sand laying around for emergencies.
