How Many Gallons Is This?

[JoeyBlackrose]

Wow cant belive my luck. One of my Mates mum called me Thursday eve, told me she had bought a house and was

moving.

She had two tanks with all the goodies to go with (stands, filters ect.) and she knew I was into the hobby myself.

She asked if I would like to have two more.

First thing I thought was my Wife is gona murder me. Second thing I thought was do I have enough money. Then she said

she is giving it all to me free of charge. There must be over a $1000. (US Dollars) in stuff. I tried to give her something in

exchange but she wouldnt have it.

COOL TWO NEW TANK WITH everything but fish and H2O!!!!!

One of the tanks she me was confussed about the size. So this is were I Need Your Help.

The Tanks mesured out at 24 L X 16 5/8 H X 12 3/8 W

I know that the simplest way to find out is pour water into to see but Im not rdy to do that.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance.

Nice with the free tanks!!

It sounds like a 30 gallon or so, as that's about as big as my 30 is. . .

THats exactly a 20 gallon tank. It's probably a 20 high.

 

[GobyMaster]

A ten? No way! I didn't think that my 10 was 2 feet long, it was more like 12x10x8" L x H x W!

Here is a good site for aquarium calculations.

 

[connorsbala]

Length x width x height (in cms) divided by 1000 = amount in litres. To get it to UK gals you times the amount by 4.5

 

[Squidman]

i think a 29 gallon

 

[jayjay]

It's 21.19g, there's no thinking about it Though that's it fulled to the brim, with nothing in the tank.
