Hi there, first post from me,

I'm picking up a tank tommorow (my first tropical set up), it's 36 x 15 x 12,
How much water does this hold in litres and/or gallons ? (uk measures)

Welcome to TFF oh and by the way when you think you've finished reading all about fishless cycling, just go back and read it again oh and again oh and once more probably. I think that should cover it for now...

standard tank sizes vary all over the world, so sorry no one can tell you 'once and for all' what the dimensions of a standard xx gallon tank are.

For future reference.

Go to google

Type in:

36inches x 15inches x 12inches in UK gallons and you'll get a conversion for that body of water.

Bare in mind that external tank measurements are not the same size as the water within + gravel and aquascaping stuff displace a fair amount of water.
