Default Gravel per gallon?

Moments before taking that leap of faith into the pond Nikki at
was heard opining:

...
natural brown gravel for something like $3 per 50lb bag.


Does Lowe's have that rock in white I was wondering,


*Note: There are TWO "Koi-Lo's" on this NG*

No, just in the large size and I believe it's chipped marble. You don't
want that. Keep in mind that white gravel doesn't keep it's clean white
look very long.

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?


Now I wont get into how I feel about colored gravel..... I go for the
natural look in fishtanks.

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.


True. But if you have plants you need the gravel to be at least 1 1/2"
deep.
