Volume in Liters
0 LVolume in Gallons
0 galFormula
For a rectangular aquarium:
Volume = length × width × height
Water Capacity (L) = Volume × 1000
Water Capacity (Gal) = Volume × 264.172
Glass Area = 2(length × width + length × height + width × height)
where:
- All measurements are in meters
- Volume is calculated in cubic meters
- 1 cubic meter = 1000 liters = 264.172 US gallons
How to Calculate
- Enter the length of the aquarium in meters
- Enter the width of the aquarium in meters
- Enter the height of the aquarium in meters
- The calculator will show the volume in cubic meters, capacity in liters and gallons, and total glass surface area
Applications
- Planning aquarium setup and placement
- Calculating water volume for maintenance and water changes
- Determining filter and heater requirements
- Estimating fish stocking capacity
- Planning aquarium glass thickness
Frequently Asked Questions
Why calculate aquarium volume?
Knowing your aquarium's volume is crucial for proper fish stocking, water treatment dosing, and maintaining water quality through regular water changes.
What about irregular shaped tanks?
For non-rectangular tanks, like bow-front or hexagonal aquariums, this calculator provides an approximation. For precise measurements, consult manufacturer specifications.
Why calculate glass surface area?
Glass surface area helps in planning maintenance (cleaning), selecting appropriate lighting, and estimating heating requirements for the aquarium.
