created new calculator, help me check it out.

[goldfries]

help me test out the calculator, and please give your feedback on how helpful you find it.

i created it so that all of us using different measurement system could understand each other better. :D

Looks good.

You might want to check your formula for inches to gal US. I ran a test using the measurements of 72" Long, 13" Wide and 18" high and your calculator gave me a result of 52 gal US. I run the same measurements thru another calculator and I get a result about 20 gal larger than yours.

haha someone in another forum informed me of this earlier.

it was fixed but i guess you were testing it when i was fixing it.

it works perfectly now (so far).

current answer for your input is 72.94 gal. :D

[goldfries]

no feedbacks?

do tell if you find any bugs.

[NJ Devils Fan]

Yea, it works good, I was just correcting that person(people) who said that the tank was not 100 gallons when it is.

[Cichlid Woman]

I ran a measurement of 36"x12"x18" and got 34 US gallons. I was under the impression I had a 38-gal tank?!

Please advise (argghhh).

You might want to include a volume to volume conversion from one system to another.

The scenario I see most often is a metric person posting "I have a 240l…"-- many of us would like to see that in gallons. I usually convert it to US gallons (* .264) and will post it for the rest of the reading audience as US gallons, although other folks may want to see it as Imperial gallons.

Its one of the reasons its good for folks to fill in the location part of their profiles, so the rest of us can try to catch our assumptions.

I just verified the measurements and I got 33 gal. Are you sure the measurement is 12" wide and not 13"? That extra inch adds a few gal to the capacity.

I get 36 gal if its 13" wide vs 12". Also note that when a tank is spec'ed at 38 gal it does not have to be exact. It is usually more or less close.

yep, 34 US gallons is correct.

you might wanna try this calculator at worldcichlids to verify it.

as for the L to G and G to L converter, it will be done. great idea.

[goldfries]

ok the litre/gallon converter is done.

please check it out.

[rockhead44]

Great job! Thanks

[goldfries]

thanx a lot. i'm always happy to help others.

sure hope the site helps, i made it so that we can avoid confusion between metric / non-metric units. :)

ft,in, cm, m dimensions to litres/gallons. litres/gallon conversion and temperature(C/F) conversion.

feedback forms are ready for your suggestions. :D

[NJ Devils Fan]

Thanks goldfries for putting your site in your signature, I will use the conversions a lot.

[Orbitorly]

Great - this will help me with my converstions.

I double-checked the tank size with the All-Glass specs (which are the external specs :rolleyes: ).

38 Gallon 36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 19 3/4

I input 36 long, 12.5 wide, 19.5 high. Just a rough rounding down, nothing exact.

The calculator comes up with 37.99 gallons.

Nicely done (and bookmarked :cool: )

[goldfries]

thanx a lot people, hope everyone likes it.

[fish dude]

it said mine off by .17 but very close
