29 gallon tank, how many bags of Miracle Gro Organic Potting Soil?

Hey guys, 

I know a couple people here have set up 29 gallon tanks with MGOPS, I was just wondering how many of the bags did you get? I'm talking about the larger ones, about 1 cubic foot: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ecodZ5yc1v/R-100619045/h_d2/Produ...

I THINK I should be alright with one bag, but I do plan on screening and soaking the stuff to get rid of the twigs/waste. Think I'll need to get two?

The bag I bought (1.5 cubic ft) had a lot of debris in it; so I lost about 25 to 30% in volume. I say go for the 1.5 or two 1.0 and any extra you have, you can dry out and save another project.
