i find its best to either go with 1/2 - 1 inch or 3+. At least from all of the reading I've done this is what was recommended. for a 1 inch sandbed, 1 pound per gallon works, for 3+ inch DSB minimum of 2 pounds per gallon. If you go with a shallow sandbed make sure you have good sandsifters

the deeper the better if i had known before setting up my tank i would have done this the deeper it is the more anerobic bacteria you will have, anerobic bacteria thrives on low light and NO oxygen and gobbles up nitrates
