If you are using sand its easiest to pick some sifted, washed, fine grain playsand up from Home Depot, a 50lb bag only costs 3$, and you could fill a 20gallon tank and do a change or two with it!
What kind of sand do you use that you have to special order it offline?
As far as how much, probably about 1/2inch to 1inch across the bottom...
