Hi,
The density is about the same as regular calcium carbonate sand (i.e. Southdown playsand). So, you can use this calculator as a reference. http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/SandBed.htm - Victor.

that one doesent work [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] I get taken to the RC home page every time I click "calcuate" I did figure it out though. a 3 foot x 2 foot tank has a bottom of 6 sq feet. if I want 6" bed then one cu foot of lime will cover 2 sq feet and if 90 lbs is 1 cu ft I need 270 lbs to cover 6 sq feet 6" deep [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
damn I new all that math I have taken would come in handy for something [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Steve
