ok, so all this time i was thinking i built a 80 gal tank with a total water volume of about 120.. well my math skills aren't that great.. the tank is 48x24x24 which is 120 gal plus a 40 gal fuge and 15 gal in the sump. for a 175 gal total volume... that could make a difference huh? :wacko

I used google to do quick conversions.

Do a search for 48x24x24...get this 27 648
Do a search for 27648 cubic inches to gallons...and get this 119.688311 US gallons

Its pretty cool and works for every calculation and conversion I have tried.

^ for tank calvulations, all you have to do is length X width X height/231
