What's This Tank's Water Volume?

[Kizz]

Anyone know how to work it out ? Look at the 3rd pic on the Link provided ...here

Anyone? Please

 

[mixmaster jay]

about 440L ish i think

 

[Kizz]

Really !? That's only 20L shy of the one i'm due to be getting of the boyfriend ...Hmm with a wee face lift do you think it would look good? Soooo Tempted ! lol

 

[mixmaster jay]

i might of worked it out wrong though
the hieghyt i think is the total hieght of tank and stand as its nearly 7ft tall 81"

so you might be looking at more 200L + as it looks to be about 2.5ft tall

its still an awesome tank for the price i think

go for it

 

[Kizz]

Think it's the boy's hand writing lol i thought 81" too then realised it was a 3 so 31"?

 

[mixmaster jay]

about 170L/200L max i think

but its a really nice tank i want it lol

where was it do you know kizz i can't believe no,one bid on it

 

[Kizz]

about 30miles away from me in Glasgow already messaged him asking for correct height not including stand as i'm interested in it . So may arrange to buy outwith ebay . Just got bf to build me a new stand lol

My Trigon Measure's 26 from corner back point to the front but is only 17" high . If this is 31" that would maybe make it about 250ish ? I'm terrible at math's ! lol

26x26x31 works out at 343L i just halved it basically to get a rough size and then added abit to allow for the 2 small side pieces

it worked for my triangle tank

 

[Kizz]

Defo 31" High ...Oooo Decisions Decisions ! Due my boyfriends 4Wx3Hx1.5D very soon don't know where i'd fit them all ...Unless i sell the tv but don't think my son would be impressed !

 

[mixmaster jay]

26x26x17 works out at 188L for a normal size tank on the aquarium calculator so roughly 96L/100L

i might be doing it wrong lol but when i worked mine out it came out just a few short of what everyone else said it was

lol get a lcd on the wall that will free up some valuable tank space lol

 

[Kizz]

Only wall i've got free is where the 4 footer's going to be going !Don't think there's any feasible way to fit them all in...Unless i move the trigon under the stairs ...Ohh i'm so Indecisive ! Grr

Well the trigon is defo 190L 42Uk Gall's .Will see if i can figure it out somewhere

 

[mixmaster jay]

i agree with that thats why its called a trigon 190 lol
ive had to shoehorn my 7 tanks in my house lol
825L
509L
300L
200L
2 X 2X1X1
18X1X1 LOL

a cubic foot of water is 6.25 imperial gallons and it weighs approx 28.4 Kg
use this as a guide just change the numbers to what you get
Type the following into google:

"8 cu foot to litres"


That gives you 226.5 litres

or you can type:


"8 cu foot to us gallons"

That gives you 59.8 US gallons
this is what people gave to me on my thread but this is before i measured it lol i got told it was 4ftx2ftx2ft triangle but nooooo it is 4x3x3 lol

The volume is 2.225 US gallons per inch of height. Basically, you create a cube from the tank. The cube would be 34"x34" and of course, you would only be taking half of it. From that, you have to deduct the area/volume of an 8"x8" section from the 2 corners:

34" X 34" = 1156 square inches
Divide by 2 = 578 square inches
Subtract 64si (8"x8") = 514 si
for each 1" in tank height, you have 514 cubic inches which is 2.225 gallons

The tank is definitely more than 17" in height. It's obvious that it's higher than the length of the front which we know to be 26". From measuring the 1st picture, it looks as though the tank is roughly half of the over all height of 81" or about 40 inches. If that's the case, the tank is about 90 gallons.
