Default Gravel per gallon?

How much? I've read 1.5 lbs of gravel per gallon. That would mean
82.5 lbs for a 55 gallon tank. Is this right?

==========================

Wouldn't it be easier to just add gravel until you have about 1 1/2" on
the bottom? I never could go by the pound as I would either have too much
or tool little gravel. BTW, Lowe's has a real nice small natural brown
gravel for something like $3 per 50lb bag.

Does Lowe's have that rock in white I was wondering, I got to get rock for
my 120g and buying aquarium rock could take you broke, but we wanted white &
baby blue, if I could find white I could just add a couple bags of the blue
to mix with it?
For what its worth just my opinion I don't go by pound per gallon either, I
don't even use as much as they say to, I try to use as little as possible
but cover the bottom because the more gravel the more junk that can get
under it.
