Good places to use it

Planted tank depth: Plan depth around root growth, layout shape, and the substrate type you intend to use.
Substrate density: The same volume can weigh differently depending on whether you use sand, gravel, or aqua soil.
Tank size examples: Use common footprints to sanity-check your calculator result before buying bags.
