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:
