Tank size

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 12:14 pm

Is there a way to determine how big a tank is by dimensions? I thought once I heard for every inch, that was a gallon, or something?

Just wondering. I got a brand new to me tank and not sure the gallons. It is huge.

What ARE it's dimentions? My 20 gal is 24"lx12"wx16"t. I think 10 gallons are about 20"lx10"wx12"t.

It is 24"L x 12"w x 19"h

But my problem with the height, is there is some wooden molding around the bottom and top, how do you "justify" the difference for the molding?

I'm going to say it's a
25 Gallon 24x12x20 http://www.all-glass.com/products/aquar ... dard.shtml

Thanks so much. I had gotten between 21-24 gallon......maybe it is a 25 gallon.

Thanks for the help!

LxWxH/231
So by that equation it is 23.68 gallons. Tanks don't really hold the amount the tank size actually is, for instance a 20 gallon long by that equation only holds around 18 gallons. I guess it is easier for the makers to just round up, so like brandi9976 said it is probably a 25 gallon.
