Volume & dimensions

Your tank, measured just right

Turn measurements into real liters: see what your tank holds, what it weighs, and how to plan water changes.

Tank volume

Calculate gross volume and net water volume based on tank dimensions.

Tank shape
Fine-tune the calculation
Net volume (water)42.7L
Gross volume64.8L
View all details
Water weight42.7kg
Freeboard4cm
Floor footprint0.18
Base area1,800cm²
Front area2,160cm²
Side area1,080cm²

Formula

V = L × W × H / 1000

Estimated total weight

Estimate the total weight of the fully set up tank including water, glass, and substrate.

Fine-tune the calculation
Estimated total weight209.5kg
Indicative load517kg/m²
View all details
Net volume (water)122.4L
Water weight122.4kg
Estimated glass weight32.4kg
Substrate volume24.3L
Estimated substrate weight37.7kg
Hardscape weight12kg
Equipment weight5kg

The load estimate is indicative: always verify the stand, support, and floor before setting up heavy tanks.

Water change

Calculate the liters to replace for a partial water change and the dilution factor.

Liters to change36
Weekly liters36
Dilution factor0.7
Remaining after changes70%
Removed after changes30%

Formula

Remaining = (1 - change%) ^ number of changes

Dimension readout

A practical readout of volume, surface, and freeboard to interpret tank measurements.

V = L × W × H / 1000Rectangular
V = π × r² × H / 1000Cylindrical
Floor footprintUseful for stand, mat, and required space.
FreeboardHelps avoid overflow and estimate the real water level.

For shaped tanks or custom builds, use these numbers for preliminary sizing, not structural certification.
