For a 135g tank 6 feet long, 22 inches deep and 18 inches wide how many lbs sand do i need. I am thinking of buying the CaribSea Arag live sand.

don't buy live sand its a scam IMHO. any sand will turn live shortly.
you are looking at a lot of sand, how deep do you want it? my base was 72 X 24 and 4" was 300lbs if I remember right. Look up marco rock, his sand is fine but everyone here used to use him years ago. I know 200lbs went quick. |

The calculator is here..
Get Carib sea special flor grade sand IMO (I too would avoid "live sand" as its mostly lots of dead because its been sitting in a warehouse on a shelf for a while).. Use 70 for pounds per cubic foot in the calculator.. http://www.reefcentral.com/index.php...bed-calculator
