As the title stats how many pounds of leslies pool filter sand should I pick up for my 125?
I was thinking minumum 2 is 3 to much?

It is all a matter of personal preference. I'd do 2 . . . perhaps a little less.Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.

use this calculator and you can see how much you need for your desired depth.

I used 1 in my 6 foot 120 and it's enough to put a thin layer, but in retrospect I wish I would have used 2 just so I could bury things in there a little better. 3 would be really good if you have a lot of bottom dwellers and such.Haiku's are easy

I like my 1" sand bed in my tanks, it always gets tossed around with the current never really have to stir with that much flow....Comment

I put about one and a half bags in my 125g discus tank. It made 1/2 to 1", so it depends on how deep you want the substrate to be.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
