Ive noticed that the "dead spot" discusion was started it was said that you dont want to have alot of gravel. so.. just how much is 2much?

Depends! Sand or Gravel? Lots of bottom-dwellers or not? Around 2 inches is the normal.

Yes two inches is fine for most fish.

Dead spots usually appear in sand, not so much in gravel. The sand compacts and no air gets to it, causing "dead spots".
