For sand I wouldn't put any more than enough to cover the bottom and about 25mm (1 inch) thick.

I'm not completely sure about crushed coral. I actually use it in my sump.
As for using it as a substrate, I really couldn't tell you I'm sorry. I have however, seen some tanks where it is used and it seems to be around an inch deep(thick). These as I recall are planted tanks...
