Aquarium Measurements
Tank Sizes
To find the real capacity of your tank:
Multiply the length x the width x the depth in inches, then divide by 231
And that will give you the the capacity in gallons.
An Example:
- 19 1/2″ long x 10″ wide x 12″ tall = 2340, 2340 divided by 231 = 10.13 gallons
That’s about the standard size of a 10 gallon tank.
To find the capacity of a round tank:
Diameter x Diameter, x depth, x .0034 = Gallons Capacity
An Example:
- Diameter 20″ x Diameter 20″ = 400, 400 x 20″ deep = 8000, 8000 x .0034 = 27.2 gallons
Inches VS Centimeters
To convert inches to centimeters simply multiply inches times 2.5
Here are some typical measurements:
| Inches 1 1 1/2 2 2 1/2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
Centimeters = 2.5 = 3.75 = 5 = 6.25 = 7.5 = 10 = 12.5 = 15 = 17.5 = 20 = 22.5 = 25 |
Celcius (or Centigrade) VS Fahrenheit
°Celcius times 1.8 plus 32 = °Fahrenheit
