92 gallon sand bed depth info

[tuchon35]

I have been fooling around with some of the sand bed calculators, but I cannot find any with corner bow front tanks.

Usually i would not care, but because I cannot find any southdown, I am going to have to buy fish store sand. Which will be considerably more expensive. I was wondering if anybody that has this tank can remember how much sand they put in. Or if anybody knows some where near Rhode Island that sold southdown.

Thanks in advance.

You can calculate it yourself pretty easily. What's the length of the straight side of your tank (inches)? That's the radius of a circle, of which your tank is a quarter-section. Pi(r^2)=Area. Divide that by four, and enter it into the calculator as the area of your tank. (or use their given sand density, and your desired depth, and do the calculation yourself, since you're halfway there already).

Wow, I feel dumb. I just took Calculus last semester. I thought that would be the end of my math days. Currently I am using my calculator as a paper weight.

Thank you
