Default How much sand for a 180

I see a lot of 180's being setup lately. How many lbs of sand do I need to get for my 180?

Depends on what type of sand you want. Here it is a calculator to estimate how much you need:

I added 95 lbs of aragonite special grade to my 180. Comes up to the top of the trim on the tank, but is moving around a bit. Have another 40 lbs bag if I decide to add more.
