LxWxH divided by 231...but the quick way is to log on to reefcentral, it has a tank volume calculator on the homepage on the left side towards the bottom. it also has oher calculators too...very helpful

Google will do the calculation for you....

for example:
enter this as your search string in google: 48in * 18in *13in in gallons

Try it...
