How Many Kg Gravel?

[Neal]

I'm wanting to setup a tank that I should be getting for christmas. I'm wanting to use a layer of JBL AquaBasis, with a layer of Coal Gravel on top. It comes in bags of 2KG and 10KG on AquaEssentials, i'm wondering how much I will need for a 30"x15" footprint, bearing in mind I only want it roughly 1" deep.

I used about 6kg of pea gravel to get about 2" depth in my 18"x12" tank so something around that area should probably cover you.

I will probably need a 10kg bag then, theres no harm in having extra, I can add it to my PFK nano.

They do 10KG Pea Gravel in Pets at home for about £6, depends what effect you want though and what fish you want to keep, I only use the Pea Gravel for the Axolotl and Turtle tank, think it looks pony with decent fish and you can pick up a bag of Sand 10KG at Wyevale for £4/£5
