Go to the RC homepage for numerous calculators to help with substrate depths and other useful tips.

It depends on how you want it to look. Put as much LR as you think looks good. Do you want a deep sand bed, shallow, or bare bottom?? These are questions you have to figure out... it's hard for us to do that

If your mega flow has bioballs you might want to take them out now to avoid a future nitrate problem.
