Planning on doing a transfer this morning from a 90 gallon to a 160gallon. I got a good deal on new bimini pink live sand and have 160 lbs of it ready to go into the new tank. Will be using roughly 60-70 lbs of establish rock along with 80 lbs of new dead rock. Question in regards to the sand.
 
I always prefer a 1 1/2-to 2-inch sand bed. Normal tank dimensions for a 160 are a 5ft by 2ft, so anywhere between 120-140lbs of sand should adequately cover that space.
