Enter your tank dimensions to see the volume.
Calculate aquarium volume from measurements in centimetres. Enter the dimensions in cm and read the result in litres and gallons.
Centimetres are the easiest unit for aquarium volume, because cubic centimetres convert cleanly to litres. Multiply length by width by height in cm, then divide by 1000 for litres.
| Dimensions (cm) | Litres | US gallons | UK gallons |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 × 30 × 30 | 27 | 7.1 | 5.9 |
| 40 × 25 × 25 | 25 | 6.6 | 5.5 |
| 45 × 30 × 30 | 40.5 | 10.7 | 8.9 |
| 60 × 30 × 30 | 54 | 14.3 | 11.9 |
| 60 × 30 × 36 | 64.8 | 17.1 | 14.3 |
| 80 × 35 × 40 | 112 | 29.6 | 24.6 |
| 100 × 40 × 50 | 200 | 52.8 | 44 |
| 120 × 40 × 50 | 240 | 63.4 | 52.8 |
| 120 × 50 × 50 | 300 | 79.3 | 66 |
| 150 × 50 × 60 | 450 | 118.9 | 99 |
Calculated with the same formula as the calculator above. Values are rounded.
Drag to fill a 60 by 30 by 30 cm (54 L) tank and watch the volume change.
50% full = 27 L
