Habitat - Indoor :: Aquarium dimensions

How can you tell how many gallons your tank is if it was a freebie. This was a secondary hand down, and am unsure what gallon this is.

Is there a way from inches to determine how many gallons the tank is.

It is still in the car cuz it is too heavy, but I could go measure it in the front seat.

If you can measure it, put the numbers in this site and it will give you the gallons-- a pretty snazzy little calculator if you ask me

Thanks, now one more question

With wood and stuff added to the bottom and top of the aquarium, how do you determine exactly how tall the aquarium is. Do you just measure and not worry about the wood?

Just wondering. Cause the difference is about 3 gallons.....

Thanks so much for the link!

Does the tank go into the wood base? Or is it just added to the bottom?
If you're not sure, just measure the inside of the tank. Really, three gallons doesn't make much difference

well you all may know....do they make a 21 gallon or a 24 gallon tank....or they MAY make both.

I am hoping to separate the big turt from the two smaller ones.

They really do fine together, but when I feed them live crickets the big one always manages to WIN!

So finally I may get the turts separated as someone before had mentioned I needed to do.

And we were worried about the smallest one not feeling good months ago, and she/he has come thru whatever it was wonderfully. And I owe it all to you guys. I did most of what you all said, remove the gravel and change the water.
