Tank volume confusion

[aquahunter]

My First Aquarium arrived today! I was initally told it was a 120 gallon , but i calculated the specs and i'm getting 215 gallons...

maybe you guys can help confirm?

L - 59.5 Inches
W- 17 Inches
H- 52 Inches

glass thickness 12mm

--------
on another note

I originally bought this tank with the intention of raising two LMB juviniles until they're old enough for an upgrade... but my LFS keeper is now telling me he's having a hard time finding a source to ship them... if he doesn't in the end , i'll be going for a south american theme ... smaller fish though

yes those are very odd dimensions, also I don't believe 12 mm glass could handle the pressure of a 52" high tank

That's the measurements i got from the LFS... he measured it right in front of me so i'm assuming it's correct.. I'll get my hands on some measuring tape and make sure. I hope it's not a 120

definitely measure. Those dimensions seem WAY off.

sounds like the fish store measured the stand, not the tank.
