4.54 in an Imperial (UK) gallon

3.78 in a US gallon

As far as I know most aquariums are measured in US gallons.

Cheers

I don't understand why people still talk about aquariums in gallons... the variation between UK and US is silly, especially when talking about big volumes...

 

[fishkeeper694]

my tank is 80 litres, how much is this in gallons please? xxx

 

[minnnt]

21 US gallons

17 UK gallons

Hence the reason you should stick with litres as it doesn't change.

It's the Celcius-Farenheit thing - it's whichever sounds most dramatic.

Hot weather is always Farenheit as in it's 90 degrees in the shade!!

When it's icy it's always in Celcius as -1 sounds better than 30 degrees.
