Aquarium volume calculator

Geometric volume uses the listed planning dimensions. Glass, the fill line, substrate and decor reduce usable water; 80–90% is only a rough range. A nominal name is not a measurement.

Worked example: 20 gallon long

30 × 12 × 12 = 4,320 cubic inches. Divide by 231 = 18.7 US gal. Multiply by 3.78541 = 70.79 L.
