catcher Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi all, Whats the tank capacity calc again? The SCP convertor isn't working. Ta glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 do you mean tank volume glenn? is so its l x w x h in cm / 1000 so a 4x2x2 is 120 x 60 x 60 / 1000 or 432 litres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcher Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 That's it, thanks Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 There is a good calculator on the cichlid-forum.com site that not only allows you to calucate volume in both inches and cm but has a number of other calculators (ie. Temperature Converter, Sand Bed Depth (Inches), Inches (in) <—> Centimeters (cm) Converter and Water Hardness) The following is a link to the relevant Volume Calculator Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 anyone notice the different in volume between inch and cm measurements? 48x24x24 = ~453L 120x60x60= ~432L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 that is because most tanks in australia use the standard metric inch, which is 2.5cm. the true imperial inch which is used in the USA is a little bigger (can't remember the exact size) thus a true 4x2x2 is bigger than a 120x60x60 tank.

Ged Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 In the US the tank would measure 121.92 X 60.96X 60.96 cms thus giving a volume of 453 litres Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 which means the imperial inch is 2.54cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.d.m Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 which all means that you calculate in feet! 4x2x2= 16 , 16x6.23=99.68 imperial gallons, 99.68 x 4.55 = 453.544 litres-yea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Apologies guys and gals... will try and get to it soon. The temperature, hardness etc converters are working fine on the new version: Please use the old version (available here: http://www.sydneycichlid.com/old_scp/convert.html ) for the working calculators for volume. Calculating in feet and inches is for twits. Metric is easier (in everyway). 1 inch = 2.54 cm (exactly). convert your tank measurements (height, length and width) (or simply measure them) in cm. Multiple the three numbers and you get a volume in cm cubed (one of which (ie: 1 cm3) is equal (more or less) to 1 ml). Divide by 1000 to get volume in litres. If you are speaking to americans you can further divide (by 3.8) this into US gallons (though better to inform them that their system (and worse cursed fahrenheit) is an antique! LOL!)

Ged Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Yew That link does not seem to be working either. It is the bracket at the end of the hyperlink that is causing the problem. Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
