Enter your tank dimensions to see the volume.

Did we solve your problem?

Calculate aquarium volume from measurements in centimetres. Enter the dimensions in cm and read the result in litres and gallons.

Working in centimetres

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate fish tank volume in cm?
Multiply the three sides in centimetres and divide by 1000 to get litres. The calculator does this for every shape.
How many cubic centimetres in a litre?
One litre equals 1000 cubic centimetres.
How many litres is a 50x25x30 cm tank?
That is 37,500 cubic centimetres, which is 37.5 litres.
Can I switch from cm to inches?
Yes, change the unit in the calculator at any time.
What units can I use in this calculator?
You can switch between centimetres, millimetres, inches, feet and metres at any time. Enter all dimensions in the same unit and the result updates instantly.
Does the result include substrate and decoration?
The figure is the full internal capacity. Subtract roughly 10 to 15 percent for substrate, rocks and the gap you leave at the top to estimate the real water volume.
How accurate is this fish tank calculator?
It uses the exact geometric formula for each shape, so the result is accurate for the dimensions you enter. Measure the inside of the tank for the best accuracy.
Is this calculator free to use?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and works on phones, tablets and desktops.
