When I bought my gravel, on the back of the bag it said for every gallon of water, you should have 2 lbs of gravel. When I fitted only 10 lbs for my 10 gallon, I was a bit short. But having 2lbs per gallon is a bit much. So I would aim for 1.5lbs/gal.
Also, try to mix up the gravel (not color, but density and texture).
