to calculate the volume of a tank..... multiply the length by width by heighth this will give you cubic inches. divide that number by 231 this will give you the gallons and then multiply by 3.8 to get liters. for example.... the dimensons of a standard 55 gallon aquarium are.... 48"L x 20"H x 13"W = 12,480 cubic inches 12,480 / 231 = 54.03 or 55 gallons remember that this is an outide measurement... the thickness of the glass is not taken into consideration. additionally, tanks are not filled to the very brim and rocks, gravel and decorations take up some of the volume as well. steve
