Resin tank fill proportion

[Eljay]

Given a 9"x48" media tank, how far up should the resin be filled assuming there is 1 cu. ft. inside?

How much gravel should be inside if required?

Without checking the fine details, normal is about 2/3 full of resin.

About 10 to 12 pounds of gravel on the 9 inch tank.

Thank you. I can see the tank is filled about 31.5 out of 48 inches up. Does the general two thirds rule apply without gravel?

I don't know. Close enough either way.

The actual tank measurement is considered without the domes, only the flat wall portion of the tank. But... like stated above, close enough.
