Its a 75 gallon I am thinking of having more stones so 2 30 pounds bags. Possibly.

They say a pound a gallon so sixty with other cover should be enough.

What are the dimensions and how thick a layer do you want?

75lbs will give you 2" throughout!

Depends on what you're looking at getting for gravel too... a 50 lb bag of sand goes alot less in coverage than a 50 lb bag of 1/4" round gravel

I used a 100 lb sack of gravel on my 75 and it's not quite enough...

2 inches of gravel should be enough.. are you planning on using live plants?

I wouldn't go any thicker than that, on a tank that size.. I wouldn't want to vacuum that every week lol.
