Setting Up A Tank

[BigIan]

a 4 foot by 18x18 would only be 254. something liters..

and thats a decent size tank.

and also easyer to maintain, i`m 6`4 and have trouble rreaching the back of my 48lx15dx24h tank

and also spread the weight more...

i might look into a 3 foot tank - i already have another tank in my room for my goldies.... soo might move them down stairs.... and then put the newbies upstairs or the other way round - as i want to get the golidies a bigger tank... so cant have both upstars...

im only 5'8 - the unit isnt too high - i would be able to reach the back of it it hink lol!

thanks guys

i found this website - on calculating the gallons - well confused....

i'll post the link http/www.firsttankguide.net/calculator.php

the tank size im thinking if only 89. summet us gallons - whats the diff between us n uk gallons?? i didnt think there was lol!

divide litres by 3.7 to get US Gallons or by 4.5 to get UK Gallons

alternatively type into google

120 litres in US Gallons and it'll give you the answer, likewise you can also do '36 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches in litres' and it'll give you the answer.

google is great!!!
