NataNZ Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Subject is pretty self explanatory: How do I calculate litres using dimensions of tank. Tanks is 1530mm x 750mm x 510mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 You times the width by the hieght by the length and then devide 100 and it tells you how many litres. The dimensions have to be in cms though. Your tanks 585ltrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Or you type "aquarium volume calculator" into Google and find this site: http://www.firsttankguide.net/calculator.php 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeous Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Or, multiply decimetres (cms/10) together and that will give your litreage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 It's really quite sad that there is actually a need for an aquarium volume calculator for people that can't do math they teach to 11 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 It's really quite sad that there is actually a need for an aquarium volume calculator for people that can't do math they teach to 11 year olds. Well the standard shapes are easy but it gets a bit harder with the odd shapes :lol: also it is alot faster and easier to use the online calculator. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NataNZ Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Honestly Ira, was there any need for that comment? It's been a while since I was 11 years old and don't calculate volume on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I agree with Ira, Although i wouldn't say it like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NataNZ Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I guess that's the last time I ask a question around here. Ira and Dixon1990, congratulations you have sucessfully made me feel like a real dolt. Whether or not I am is my problem, there's really no need to comment further.

Ira Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 The comment wasn't directed at you, it was directed at society in general. We get this same question asked every week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Like Dixon I agree with Ira to some extent. But, like Ira said it wasn't directed at you so theres no need for you to feel like you can't ask questions around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I always wanted to know how to figure about the litres in tanks with curved glass corners. Is there a caculator site that can do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Now that would be a lot more complicated. I wouldn't actually bother with getting it exact, given that substrate, driftwood, rocks, etc is likely to drop the actual water volume a lot more than the little bow adds to it.

Romeo Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 The quickest way I can think of is to type it straight into Google. (153*75*51) cc to litres ...returns... (153 * 75 * 51) * cc = 585.22500 litres It's also pretty useful for other things aswell.1,543,256 cm to miles ...returns... 1 543 256 centimeters = 9.58934821 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindy500 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I always wanted to know how to figure about the litres in tanks with curved glass corners. Is there a caculator site that can do this? easiest way... fill with 10 L buckets, count how many buckets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindy500 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Or, multiply decimetres (cms/10) together and that will give your litreage. cm/10 would be mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Ira sometimes I think you're quite smart, other times I think you're an idiot. I could do the maths in my head to calculate the volume of a tank in litres based on measurements in centimeters, but being able to enter the size in inches or cm and have it spit out the volume in gallons and litres is very handy. With my broadband connection the page loads faster than I can open the computers calculator (by the time I find the shortcut to it) and it certainly processes it a lot faster. Its not really a matter of need (well for me anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Ira, I don't think there was need for a comment like that. It discourages some people from wanting to ask questions on here for fear that someone will make a comment like that and make them feel stupid. I have spent most of my fishkeeping time in another country where we always worked in gallons and fahrenheit and I find I'm always looking things up to convert over. Eheim also have a tank calculator.... http://www.eheimasiapacific.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 We've been using the metric system here for ages now...and I still hate it, but that's just personal preference for me. So I'm constantly using the online converters and not ashamed to admit it either! Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
