Thats odd because my 240 gallon (8x2x2) comes out to right at 239.78 gallons........

Some tank come out the same or close others are rounded to a nice number 120 instead of 112. Would you rather buy a 112 or 120?
 
so is my filteration enough for the tank and fish then? not getting more fish. heck i may get rid of one oscar but i cant really find myself to do that, they been togther since well forever and they follow eachother none stop. but im sure not adding anymore fish. so is my 2250 ( wish it was a 2260 but oh well ) be enough? ill be cleaning the glass weekly and water change monthly. keeping the tank bare bottom.

If you can't fill up the tank and do weekly changes then I would seriously think of down sizing. I would say yours is a bit overstocked which can be fine as long as you can keep control of the water. Just look at your water, it should be crystal clear. Whats your exact stock?
 
2 oscars almost 7 inches
pair of cons ( getting rid of female sometime )
1 sev
3 firemouths ( 2 T meeki 1 T aureus )
1 common pleco ( whinch also im starting to take a like to )
few livebearer frys
3 or 4 black skirts
and few baby convicts almost 3/4 inch

With what your situation is I would say:
1 oscar
1 convict
1-2 firemouth
livebearer fry, clack skirts, and baby convicts

or

1 oscar
3 firemouth
livebearer fry, clack skirts, and baby convicts

or

2 oscars


I know its hard to get rid of fish you have grown attached to but you have to think of whats best for the fish.

I dont get it the math doesnt lie..... I can under stand if a tank is a couple of gallons off the company will round it up or down. SO it is not far fetched that they call a 112 a 110. But to exceed it by 8 gallons it a lot! Plus every 120 that I have seen has been 60x16x16.. Which is like 122 gallons or something like that.

You tank is a considered a 110 but there is 112 gallons of water in it. so stock it as a 10 not a 120. cause 10 gallons can make a big difference to fish.
