Depends on the weight of the sand and what your mixture is. I'd guess anywhere from 100-130 lbs.

There is a calculator on the Reef Central Homepage that tells you roughly how much you need.

about how many bags of the 30 lb sugar sand would be needed for 4 inch sand bed in a 65 gallon breeder? 18x36 floor area.

Like I said. There is a calculator for that. http://reefcentral.com/calc/SandBed.php

According to the Calculator, you would need roughly 135 lbs of sand to cover the bottom
