We soak 4 lbs. of cubes for my partner's Appy in the am and use roughly 3/4 of a 2 gallon bucket of water.  At night, he gets 5 lbs. of cubes and a full 2 gallons of water.  It depends on how "soupy" you want it, of course.  As a supplement carrier am and pm for all 3 equines, I put 1 gallon of warm/hot water over about 1 lb. of cubes.  What I don't use for the supps, goes over the top of the Appy's other cubes.  It is definitely a little more soupy.  The cubes also soften up very quickly in the hot water, although it probably takes 10 minutes or more for me to do the other chores and get around to dishing out the carrier cubes and supps...
