tank volume please

[im_a_tidyman]

i know theres some calculation, but i dont know what it is!! Ive been really wanting to keep a tang, since returning mine bcos it got to big for my Rio125, however i now bought a new tank, its 5ft by 2ft by 2ft, what would the water volume be? is it ok for a tang??

Sounds like a 55g. I have a yellow tang in mine but I'm prepared for the fact that he will most likely need a larger home eventually.

55g, is that US or UK? 55 dont seem like much more than my last tank! ****!

55g US

Whoops, I was thinking 4 feet not 5 feet. Apologies. I'd stay that was closer to a 90-100g

This is for FW but same same in this case: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/aquarium_sizes.php

oh wow, that sounds a lot betteR!! SMILES AGAIN!! YIIPPPEEEE, the first time ive had this feeling off saving money since stating this hobby

from that site, and my measurements, surely its a 100 gallons, well more actually, cos its a few more that the inches than the site has......man, this gets better...

BTW, the calculation is LxWxH (in inches) / 231= volume in US gallons.

60*24*24/231= 149.6g
