I know it's been posted before, but I didn't need it at the time....
somewhere there is a page that shows how many gallons in a tank of a certain
size? I've been given an old tank and have no idea how much it holds, just
that it's bigger than what I've got.
TIA,

If you're using the metric system, every litre is 1000 cubic
centimetres. So, (L * W * H) in cm / 1000 = V in Litres.

Use Mike Edwardes' aquarium converter! It converts many things related
