Hi can someone tell me how you work out the volume of water in your tank. Thanks

Dianne

Get all lengths in CM

Multiply

Length x width x height

Then divide the answer by 1000

Length of tank in cm x width x height and then divide it by 1000 and then you have it in litres. Times 0.26 to get gallons.

Thanks guys

If you want the volume of water to add meds or other treatment don't forget to allow for the gravel, gap at the top and any large solid objects.

The old tanks were based on pretty standard measurements that were useful. the standard tank was 24x12x12 inches and held 2 cubic feet (12 gallons) and every inch of water was a gallon.

Amazing how many people weren't paying attention to math in school.

Builders work in mm and dressmakers work in cm

I used to drive Grant nuts when I measured curtains by saying they are 2 metres, 1 inch and 3 doodackeys. Now I just drive Grant nuts :roll:
