The aquarium calculator here is as accurate as the measurements put in... So yeah, i guess other people were maybe told their tank were "x" gallons but never bothered to really double check / confirm :)

True gallons is inside measurements. Displacement gallons is outdide measurements. It makes a big difference on larger tanks.

I see this on CL/kijiji all the time. Its like people forget what they bought and just type in the outer dimensions into a calculator.
