  • Tank sizes

    What size is my tank? 72" X 18" X 22" thought it was 125. Use a calculator and it comes out to 115. Been wondering for a while now because I thought something wasn't adding up.

    Planning a new 150+ tank. Any suggestions?
    Lets see what the imagination fruits.

      Re: Tank sizes

      My first "big" tank was a 15g so it's always easiest for me to think of size relative to my 15g tank.

      A 15g tank is 1' x 1' x 2' = 2 cuft   (1 cuft = 7.5g)

      your tank is
      6' x 1.5' x 1.83' = 16.5 cuft  = 123.75g

      Ofcourse you need to consider inside or outside dimensions,  how much gravel is in the bottom, how much head room do you leave at the top,
      How many gallons does your holey rock displace..............
      'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
      He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

        it's a 125

        take cubic inches and divide by 231
