Just trying to figure out how many gallons a tank 96"Lx30"Wx19"tall would be.
Any one know the formula for this?
Thanks.

This link is really good, gives you all the wierd shapes to pick from as well you can add LR, sand, fuge's, sumps to it to get true volume.

You nailed it Keith. My registered domain is entwood.ca. Guess what my email address is!

I don't know how many times I have read those books. I can't wait for the Hobbit movie!

For future reference you don't need that site to calculate the empty volume. All you need is the volume of the tank in cubic inches (length x width x height) and then divide by 231 to get the volume in gallons.
