im not exactly sure how many gallons is my tank.

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.

I'm certain a lot of people on CL are simply guessing and usually they are over estimating. I always ask for dimensions from sellers. They always seem surprised when I reply to tell them the actual volume.

^ very true... I know just in the Asian culture there are a few superstitions that involve fish...

Just look at some of the Chinese and their expensive Arowanas for example...

Dont want to derail this thread too much, but its all about belief of it being a form of dragon and the luck it brings / represents to the owner of one of these fish

Length x width x height in inches divided by 231 gives US gallons

wow ! you're right. how did u come up with tht?

 

[doomiedee]

hmm, u should've write down the equation, and probably could share it with us. and yeaah, thanks to the aquarium gallon calculator in the web makes size calculation easier. fyi, before this i even miscalculate my 30 as a 90, which also the tank where my dad's giant gourami lived for 3 yrs. O.O
soo, your brother got the 29 with a 50g pricetag? is the guy tht sold it to him also didnt know tht it was a 29 or was ure brother cheated?

Yeah the guy sold him a full setup for $150 witch isn't really bad but I personally wouldn't have paid more then $75-100 for the set up.
