Neat, Hobbsy. Found out my 700 gallon tank is actually 697.68 gallons. Who knew?

Love the way it even gives the heating size reqirements:thumb:

neat but inaccurate

it doesn't ask for the thickness of the tank walls

That is important

any time your calculating volume you should enter the inside measurement

did you make sure to check UK v US gallons, measurement units and the other small things that can be tweaked on there?

also, i really liked that it provided you with how much lighting you should get for each kind of plant depending on distance from light to substrate and the amount of heating required.
i realize that it's not entirely accurate, but it's great to have some sort of estimate to go off of.

I know the thread is old, But that is a pretty neat tool.

I have to double check my measurements, I know my 36gal is not 42gal.
