    Arrow looking for sand bed calculator

    A while back I found a sand bed calculator program on one of these BB's. All you had to do was enter in the tank messurment and the depth of the sand bed you wanted and it'd tell you the amount of sand required.
    Well I have lost the program due to computer problems and cant seem to find it again. I'm hoping that someone out there can help me out.

    IF you are calculating for a large tank subtract the thickness of your tank walls and top/bottom. When I was calculating for my 400 (1" thick acrylic), it made the calculation overestimate by about 80 pounds....
