Eco complete for vision 180

Hi all.

Roughly how many bags will I need to achieve a 2.5 inches depth in this tank. I'm thinking 3-4. 3 ideally. £££

Well having done this once to work out substrate depth on my Vision 180. (rounding figures as we go).

Vision 180 area is 92cm x 45cm which gives an area of 0.92 x 0.45 = 0.4m2.

Your depth is 2.5in inches which is 6.3cm.

This gives a volume of 0.4 x 0.063 = 0.025m3.

According to Eco-complete web site its density is 54lb/cu ft, which is 864kg/m3.

Thus weight needed - is 0.025 x 864 = 22Kg.

Thus you will need at least 3 bags (27Kg), possibly 4.

Cheers. I'll start with 3. The stuff is expensive.
