How many bags of rock do you need to fill the bottom?

We used 8 pounds of course multi-colored gravel. This is probably the best acrylic 5 gallon unit. The key is to change the filter often (we use Tetra Whisper Unassembled Bio-Bag Cartridges to save money) Keep the water 1/2 inch from the top to maximize flow and add aeration for O2.

5lbs is all you would need..They have a 5 lb glo fish bag of gravel that you can order for the aquarium...

i used 1 bag but you may want to use 1 and a half or two bags. i myself don't like a lot in the tank. the one bag did cover the bottom.

1 bag of the neon glorocks was enough to cover it to a depth of 1.5 inches or so.

We used around 12 bags of sand from Lowes. We could have used a few more. Richard

3 sac bags inside. The you can over-load it past the recommend line to a capacity of 50lbs instead of 30lbs filled with sand to the line

I put a 50 pound bag and a half of another 50lb bag in ours. That was regular sand.

one large bag should be enough. It comes out of the holes, so I just keep putting it back in. Put it where you want it before you fill because it gets very heavy.

It really depends on how deep of a substrate bed you want. That said, one bag should be fine. I used less than 2 bags in my 20 gallon long.

2 packs of six bricks. You coulds use a couple of bags of quick cret, mix it up and spread it on the bottom and for go the bricks. That may be cheaper but the bricks work fine.

I think I used 3 of the big bags of filler....each bag is like $16 at Wal-Mart...It is a little tricky to fill.....do it outside and use a large paper funnel or something to keep them contained:) Good time!

You will need 325lbs to 350 lbs depending on whether you put some gravel in the bottom or not.

Need more than one bag or use Ross Root Soaker. River birch need lots of water. Type of soil a factor too.

You have to fill it up yourself, Don't worry though. You can fill it up with common sand, gravel, etc.

The only thing you need to do is fill the bottom with water or sand, your choice. I use sand because it's more dense. Nothing is needed inside the bag itself once you put it together.

We have 900 and they barely cover the bottom. Need to double that # to really fill it up.

they need to be filled at tree location. They have holes in the bottom, and the zip is difficult to close if the bag is full

I used a power drill with a 7/8 spade bit and drilled 5 holes in each section for a total of 15 drainage holes. I also put a layer of small rocks on the bottom. Worked perfectly.

use a Super Thinset and Grout Mixer Mixing Paddle. I mix 20 to 30 bags a week for my job. forget the Wheel burro and hoe or shovel. just not practical.

You need something to drive the stakes. I keep an old hammer in the bag but I've used a rock before too.
