Tank Gallon Confusion

[DemureGirl]

Hi

I've been looking around at available tanks and just doing some research. Problem is, I'm a little bit confused with how many gallons a tank is.

I've seen one nice one that said it was 6 gallons. But I read on the hospital tank topic that the hospital tank alone should be 10 gallons. The tank looked pretty huge on the site! Is this image on the site just making the tank seem larger than it is, or have they got the gallon size down incorrectly?

I would email them asking how big the tank that is for sale is and how big the tank in the photo is.

The trouble with using gallons as a refernce is that there are two types, Imperial gallon & US Gallon. It is best to stick with Litres as that is a constant across the world.

Just for reference, --- 1 Imperial gallon = 1.2 US gallons or 4.5 Litres
