Swapping out current sandbed with reeflakes

[Mel-E-Mel]

Hi PA, I sent an email to someone a while ago about the TE reeflakes. I want to swap out my current sand with it and was wondering if you can tell me how many bags I would need to make a 2"-3" sandbed. Tank is 48"x24". Thanks!

Hi Mel, you would want to go with 160lbs for 3" of depth with that footprint. Figure about 120lbs - 130lbs for 2" total depth.

jsut go the sample pack of tropic eden.. must say the miniflakes reaally really close in size to argasnow.. or is it the packaging?

Miniflakes are closer to Aragasnow in size than what they are Reefflakes. Having said that, there is still definitely a difference.
