OK, Santa was nice to me . Sometime in the next 2-3 months I will be setting up an approximately 50 gal (36x18x17-18). I know there exists a calculator for determing amount of substrate as well as determing actual water volume given the dimensions. If anyone can provide these, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Congrats!

I think the AllGlass site has a volume calculator there.
I have one I tried to copy and paste, but it didn't make any sense by the time it got here.....

I dunno if this helps, but i would add 9 20lb bags of substrate. Of course it will vary slightly from substrate to substrate but i find more is better, more room to create slopes and exaggerate things.
