How can I calculate how much sand I need for my aquarium?

The following formula can be easily calculated:

L x T x H x 1,5

L = tank length
T = tank depth
H = desired level ground
1,5 = Factor Material Density natural sand

Beispiel:
tank length = 60 cm
tank depth = 40 cm
desired level ground = 4 cm

60 cm x 40 cm x 4 cm x 1,5 = 14,4 kg

You will need ca. 14,4 kg.

Thus, you could order the following package units:
1 x 10 kg + 1 x 5 kg

Or you can simply use our sand quantity calculator.
