Aquarium Volume Calculator

Work out your tank's volume, water weight and water-change amounts.

How to use it

Enter the tank's length, width and height (inside measurements), and how full you keep it. You'll see litres, US gallons, water weight and common water-change volumes.

Stocking rule of thumb

The old '1 inch of fish per gallon' rule is only a starting point. Species size, bioload and filtration matter far more.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my real volume lower than the calculation?

Substrate, rocks and décor displace water, typically 10–20%. Use the 'Filled to' box to account for that.

How much does a full tank weigh?

Water alone is 1 kg per litre, so a 200 L tank holds 200 kg before glass, stand and décor. Make sure your floor and stand can carry it.
