Default Building a tank...


I make that to be about 1735 gallons

I generally guess about 10 pounds per gallon to account for water,
tank, substrate, whatever else is in there.

Thanks for the links...a lot of useful info found there. How did you come
to the amount of 1735 gallons? Is there a formula you used or are you just
familiar with tanks of this size?
