How do I find out what size my tank is?

You convert the measurement of your tank to centimeter (one inch = 2.54 cm), then you multiply them together. Divide that by 1000 = how many litre the tank can hold. Multiply that by 0.26417 = how many gallons it can hold.So you're tank is a 70 gallon (if I didn't make a mistake, I'm no good at mathematics).

The calculation I used, from http://www.iol.ie/~discover/measure.htm was:Find the cubic inches (16524)Find the litres (multiply by 0.01639, so 270.1)Then find the gallons (multiply by 0.2642, so 71)Your tank is about 70 gallons, just as jedidiah says
