CALCULATE THE VOLUME & WEIGHT OF YOUR AQUARIUM

The calculators below can be used to calculate the volume of water in square, rectangular or cylindrical aquariums . Water volume is needed to ensure you treat your aquarium with the correct dosage of medication and fish stocking levels.

The total tank volume figure computed is a rough estimate and only takes into account your fish tank dimensions. It does not take into account ornaments, decorations, the substrate, equipment, etc. These items can have an effect on the total volume of water in your aquarium. This calculation is simply based on an empty tank with the given dimensions.. Make a minor allowance (approx 10-15%) for such things.

If your tank is not rectangular, such as a bow front (sometimes called euro style) or hexagonal tank, you can use the average of the questionable dimension to calculate your volume. For example, if your hex tank is 10" wide at the narrowest and 14" wide at the widest, you can use the average of 12" for the width to get a good idea of the volume of your tank.
