I've got a few tanks here that I've bought secondhand and I wondered if there is some sort of formula for determining volume of an aquarium? Thanks!

gallons = Length x Width x Height (all in inches) / 231

Remember to take the inside dimensions, or subtract the thickness of the glass to get an accurate volume.

We need to get that added to the Calculator section. I was using the one on RC a lot while designing my sump and refugium, but it's a pain to get to.
