	How Much Substrate Do I Need
reflectz Fingerling Posts: 17 Kudos: 7 Votes: 1 Registered: 14-Sep-2003	Edited by reflectz I'm thinking of using the Red Sea Reef base for my substrate. My tank is 60in wide and 30in deep. How much do you think i will need? I'll be setting up a marine reef tank, and I was hoping to have a thin layer of substrate.
