All dimensions are given in inches.

10gal = 20x10x12
20gal = 24x12x16
20 long = 30x12x12
29gal = 30x12x18
40gal (breeder) = 36x18x16
50gal = 36x18x19
55gal = 48x12.5x21
75gal = 48x18x21
90gal = 48x18x24
125gal = 72x18x21
150gal = 72x18x28
180gal = 72x24x24
220gal = 72x24x26

Nice post.

Add 30 gal: 36 x 12 x 16

I calculated the volume of the dimensions rounded to four digits.
Conversion factor used was 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches.
All volume is in gallons and dimensions length x width x height in inches.

Nominal Size ## Dimensions ## Volume
10 ######## 20x10x12 #### 10.39
20 ######## 24x12x16 #### 19.95
20 Long ##### 30x12x12 ### 18.70
29 ######## 30x12x18 #### 28.05
30 ######## 36x12x16 #### 29.92
40 Breeder ### 36x18x16 #### 44.88
50 ######## 36x18x19 #### 53.30
55 ######## 48x12.5x21 ### 54.55
75 ######## 48x18x21 #### 78.55
90 ######## 48x18x24 #### 89.77
125 ####### 72x18x21 #### 117.8
150 ####### 72x18x28 #### 157.1
180 ####### 72x24x24 #### 179.5
220 ####### 72x24x26 #### 194.5

The internal volume will be smaller depending on the thickness of the walls.
I'm surprised the 220 gal is so far short. Maybe the dimensions given were wrong?

After you multiply lxhxw what do you divide by???

For volume? its l x w x height = your increment squared. So square feet or centimeters. At least thats how i remember it, its been about 5-6 years since school lol
IF you want it in liquid measurements, just use the calculator over there <----- but you can find out how many gallons go into 1 square foot and do it that way.

Nice. It might also be helpful to multiply the volume by 8.345404 to get the minimum weight of the tanks filled with water (in pounds)

I agree though, a sticky here would be REALLY nicethumbs2:

This is the page i use for quick references since it contains some sizes other lists dont:

This is already a stickie in the same section. We now have two stickies on the same subjet.

Basic Tank Sizes and Weights ([Only Registered Users Can See Links.])

Thanks WT. Same one I have linked to because I like the weight.
