does anyone by chance know how many gallons the oceanic bio-cubes hold? i'm talking usable (for the fish to swim in) gallons. the guy at my LFS said for it 29 gallon it's only like 18 gallons but i disagree... if anyone knows let me know!

You cant really give a straight forward answer to a question like that as how many actual gallons are there is dictated by things like rock, sand, equiptment etc etc...
A very open-ended question really..

If it there was only 18 gallons for the fish to swim, that would mean that the back would take up 1/3 of the space.
I know the 29 gallon is 20.1 inches long, and 19 inches high. I just don't know how deep it is. A gallon is 231 cubic inches, so If we assume 3 inches, then the back area is about 5 gallons, leaving 24 gallons. If its 4 inches deep, then it takes up 6.6 gallons, leaving a bit more than 22 gallons to swim in.
I haven't seen a 29 gallon biocube, so I really don't know how big the back is. If your LFS has one, measure it, and you will know exactly. And of course, you will have sand/gravel, rocks and plants, so its a bit less.

ok thanks... i actually have the tank so i'll have to measure it. i'm guessing the tank volume is about 24 gallons with the other 5 being in the back.
and niko to clarify i was talking actual water volume with no LR or LS or anything.
