Hi, I am thinking of buying a 7' x 2' x 2'....can't remember how to work out how many gallons this will be. Can someone please remind me how to work it out?
Thanks.x.

It is a little over 200 gallons...209.16 to be exact.

I got that by using THIS calculator.

 

[Joviella]

Thanks for that. I am so very tempted to go for it then.

How much would a tank like that cost around your parts of town?

 

[afireinside]

hmm, i know it's gonna cost alot, i've seen 55 gallon tanks up to $600...

 

[Joviella]

I am hoping to pay around £200 including a stand.

Now can you do a conversion for me and say how much that is in $$$

 

[Joviella]

lol......last time I was in the us.....june last year,the exchange rate was roughly 60p=1 dollar. So.....$120 ish.

 

[tttnjfttt]

wow, thats a sweet deal! I paid that for my 20 gal set up (tank, hood, 15 wat light, filter and heater). I'm jealous.

 

[Joviella]

If I can get it at that price I will be a happy bunny.....

SIlly Chali!

The £ is MUCH stronger than the $

£200 is more like $350 at the moment.

Where are you buying that from?

Thats really high.
Around me you can buy a 55G tank, Stand, Hood for about $180 then go to big al's for the rest of the stuff.

Hell I only a little over $900 for my 125G setup.
