I'm trying to figure out about how many 5lb bags of Vita-Sand I would need to cover the bottom of a 75 gallon tank (48inx18in).

Also, how many inches deep do I want the sand to be?

Note: I'm aware of the debate on sand as a substrate.

a 5lb bag covers a 10g tank with about 1 inch of sand so you may need 7 bags minimum,thats like 60.00 in sand.....play sand is 2.50 at home depot per 50lbs so for 5 bucks you would easily cover you tank with 3inches of sand or so.
