Dimensions 122 x 30 x 38cm/48" x 12" x 15
Surface area 0.37 sqm/3.98 sq ft
Volume 142 l./31 gal. (37.51 US gal.)
Probable volume 128 l./28 gal. (34 US gal.)

The differences should be explained by this (nicked from PFK)

You can use you calulater to work out you volume in litres by doing the following.

You need to measure in cm.

Wcm x Lcm x WH(water height)cm =??? then divide by 1000 this will give you the exact litres in volume of your tank, you only need to note the figures before the decimal point.

Your tank in litres is also your weight in kg.

Have a look at the Coral Growing website, they have a tank volume calculator, which shows liters, US gallons and UK gallons after entering tank dimentions in inches or centimeters.

Also thinkfish.co.uk is a good site for volume calculators.

A pretty good volume, the bigger the better, good luck!
