    DaCubs adds:
    In case anyone is curious, the formula for calculating the volume of a tank based on the dimensions is:
    [length * width * height] / 231 (all measurements in inches)
    Keep in mind that you need to use the inside dimensions to be 100% accurate, not the outside. The thickness of the glass will give you a volume larger than actual if you use the outside measurements.

 

Great post. This will be a nice quick reference for people. I think this deserves to be a STICKY!

 

Wow this is a good post. gj

 

Hello,

Awesome post! Just 1 question, if a 48'' x 18'' x 24'' is a 90 gallon, then what is a 48'' x 24'' x 24''? Thanks!

Corey

 

Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

100 Gallon

heh, think I might be adding other measurements within time

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

bump for sticky. Quick reference for people instead of having new forums pop up with people asking

 

Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

Actually I'm pretty sure a 48" x 24" x 24" is a 120 gallon.

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

Yep, that's a 120. We had one at work for 6 years... lol!

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

Great post - ppl are always asking this Q. I am bookmarking it for sure and I second the sticky advice

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

Nice post Badger. If it is possible to edit, I'd suggest adding the formula for calculating the gallons as well. (L*W*H) / 230 I think?

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

I'll add that in to the top, Krepoort. Good idea.

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

Any chance you could post inside dimensions?

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

need help.. what is mine if the demensions are 36" x 12" x 23"

 

RE: Re: RE: Glass Tank Dimensions

Re-read the very first post in the thread. It includes the formula to calculate the volume of any rectangular tank. I'll quote it here for you, but you'll have to do the math. I mean, if we did all the work for you, how would you learn?!

 

What a great, convenient post! Thanks!

 

cool, this will help me build a new tank

 

Hey the Dimensions 48" x 13" x 21" is said to be a 55 gallon......is that a tall or long one.....or in other words is it really tall, or is it really wide or tall. This would really help if someone responded.

Thanks

 

That would be a "Long" tank....The first number is always the "Length"..middle number is "width"(how far it goes back)...and last number is always the "Height"........(It is written that way so you can use the formula for volume....LxWxH is always equal to the volume)

 

Thanks!
