depends on if his measurements are right, which they seem off a little? Also depends on if he measure outside or inside, which it looks like outside. But given the measurements its about 400g

ok so i got my mom to say she will think about buying this tank. god im such a good sales man and smooth talker.

Commercial tank manufacturers rate their tanks by outside measurements. So figure z(length (inches) x width (inches) x height (inches))/ 277.4 gallon/inches^3. So (72 x 36 x 36)/277.4 = 336.38 gallons
Being a custom acrylic tank it was probably designed to be a 300 gallon tank using inside dimensions for sizing and for a water level not all the way to the top edge, therefore it is probably a 300 gallon tank. BIG TANK.

isnt 1 gallon=231 inches ^3? Or am I missing something because its outside measurements? I think your using a UK gallon..?

Oops, Thank You, I sit corrected, and red faced.
(72 x 36 x 36)/231 = 403.94 gallons or 400 gallons nominal.

whoa what. fatman was wrong. no way. so are you saying that this tank is 400 gallons

[cgoodman381]

about 400. If their measurements are right.

One big tank! Hopefully its not to far for you, so you an see if its all scratched up or whatever??

[dustin_P74]
