How many gallons do you think this tank is?

[sushiray]

A bowfront tank - 48" long x 22.5" hi x (13" wide at the ends & 17" wide at the bow part). I was told 72-75gal.

the reason I ask to confirm that I must have made a mistake when I filled it up with 2-hands 1gallon containers & I think I only put in 60gal. up to the rim.

thx all

The dimensions are of a 72gal bowfront.

I found that Lupin posted this last nov.

so I input
48L x 15W x 22.5H = 70g

(I used 15" width as an avg between the shortest & widest part of the tank)

It just boggles me that I made such a big mistake in counting when I filled it up!

Is it AGA or Oceanic?

I bought it used so didn't see any labelings. Just the label on bottom of glass stating it's tempered glass.

Was the tank bare? Substrate and decor take up room too.

filled it "fully" empty & bare as can be! not sure even if I did if it could displace 12-15gal of h2o... I will have to accept the fact I mis-counted. I know many use a siphon/faucet to fill their tanks but I did it the old fashioned way! 2 1gal milk containers!!
