Hi all!

I have a tank that is 36in. long, 18in. wide, and 20in. tall. How many gallons is my tank. I think its between 54-56 gallon, but I'm not tottaly sure.

Thanks

Oh..

I thought 55 ??

 

[legendaryfrog]

approximately 56.3 gallons

36*18*20=12960

12960 cubic inches to gallons=56.1038959 US gallons

Filled to the brim maybe. It's really only going to hold like 190-195 lts which is more like 50 gallons.

It was probably sold as a 50 or 55 wide or breeder tank.

I get 53.1............. gallons, filled to the top, assuming 1/4" glass. ( -.5" for both front, back and sides and -.25" for the bottom.)

I found a web site with a chart.

It had this on it:

50 Gallon 36 7/8 x 19 x 19 5/8

I also enjoyed all the different answers... I am not sure if mine is correct, but it is different.

I think that would be a nice tank. I like tanks that are as wide as they are tall.
