What Is The Capacity Of My Tank? Edit

[paulypaul182]

im thinking massive shoals of tetras.

Teah could do, I may even add another Ram. I really need to know what that zebra thing is in my tank. It dont look like a zebra loach to me. He is very skittish as well.

Now that we have the FULL measurements of the tank I can simplify the mathematically explanation I posted earlier in the thread (just shows there's more than one way to do it if you don't have all the measurements you want )

Ignore the missing corners and work out the volume of the tank as a rectangular tank:

36" x 36.5" x 16.5" = 355L

Now you have to use your imagination
There are 2 corners 'missing' from the front of the tank. As they are the same size they can be placed together to form another rectangle, and the volume of this is the 'missing water'.
The 'slanted' sections are 4.5" from front to back, and 4.25" from side to side, so:

4.5" x 4.25" x 16.5 = 5L

So now we remove that 'missing water':

355L - 5L = 350L

So your tank is actually:

350L
77.1 Imp. Gallons
92.5 US Gallons

Of course this is just rough based on the measurements you gave. the easiest method by far is just to work out how much your bucket holds, and count the number of buckets you use to fill the tank



(Although the maths is good, those figures seem a bit far out from the earlier calculations, and I'm not sure why - lol)

i did it in my head and then checked it with a program and me and the program say between 300 - 310 litres

Well, I just saw numbers and my mind went hazey, lol.
That is one big tank to give away for nothing aint it? Ill have o figure out what the massive filter is just to make sure but there is a fluval +2 in there as well.
I just got to figure out what the fish are that came with it. Im certain the two plecs are common plecs. Im pretty sure the chilchid is a yellow lab. The zebra thingy may be a zebra loach but the markings look different to that on the fish index but it definately looks like a loach or a cat. It has barbels from its mouth. He's hiding so the picture i got last night is the best i can do.

This one looks similar to your tank...yours may be shorter and taller.

Looks similar. Someone worked out that it is a 300 litre tank
