Does anyone know about how deep my sand bed will be with 20#'s of sand for a 24 gallon aquapod?

Hmmmmm............
Maybe it was 40# for 3 inches? I don't recall. It must have been if 18# gave you 1.5 inches in an 18g.

I went with the rule of thumb I was told of 1 lb per gallon of sand.. 2 lbs per gallon of Live Rock. Being a nano I had to make adaptions! I went higher in sand (not near a deep sand bed tho) and 16 lbs of Live Rock (even porus) is all I can fit!. This is a learning experience tank!
