How much sand?

[traderdan]

I have a 28 gallon nano cube coming in next week. I was wanting to put in a 3" sand bed. Does anyone know how much sand I need to get?

40-60 lbs? Just trying to ball park it. I'd say get 40 to start and if you need more go from there.

Yeah like guy said above. 40 should be a good start.
