Tank Size Dimensions

[Wiggler]

Hello everyone,

I've adopted 2 tanks from a friend who decided she no longer wanted them.

I currently have 1 10g reef tank running containing 1 clown, 1 sandsifter, 1 gorgonian coral and 1 turbo snail).

I would like to set up these other 2 tanks, but am not sure how many gallons they are.

Is there a formula to determine how many gallons??

First tank: 30 X 13 X 17

Second tank: 24 X 10 X 16

Thanks,
Pam

Yep:

LxWxH divided by 231

Thank you. It looks as though I have acquired a 28g and a 17g tank.

Can you have reef acquariums with a 28 and 17g tanks?

I know I have a 10 gallon, but it's very plain and was just something I was experimenting with before I lay down the money for all of the necessary equipment.

Could you successfully create and keep a reef acquarium with either one of these tanks?

231 cubic inches = 3.8 liters = 3800 milli liters = 3800 cubic centimeters = 1 gallon

Everything you wanted to know about volume but were afraid to ask.
