Unless you have a lot of experience with tanks, you will not be able to tell the difference without the tanks being side-by-side. The 20 gallon tank is only about 30% larger, if even that much. The ten gallon tank is about 12*6*9 or some such. It isn't that large.

If you are going to use it for fish, remember that surface area has a direct impact on oxygen load of the water, so if you come across a tall but narrow tank, you'll want to keep it no more than half full...better yet, don't buy it.

First, to the person that said their twn gallon tank was 2x2x5, to my spec.s that makes your tank a 150 gallon tank.

Here is the formula to find out how many gallons a tank actually is, length x width x avg depth x 7.5. so 2x5=10, 10x2=20, 20x7.5 is 150.

10 Leader 20 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 12 9/16

15 High 20 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 18 3/4

20 X-High 20 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 23 3/4

10 Long 24 1/4 x 8 1/2 x 12 5/8

15 Show 24 1/4 x 8 1/2 x 16 5/8

15 Gallon 24 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 12 3/4

20 High 24 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 16 3/4

20 Long 30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 12 3/4

There are also designer and hexagon tanks that can be a number of sized and dimensions.

10 Designer 13 5/8 x 13 5/8 x 19

15 Designer 13 5/8 x 13 5/8 x 25

10 Hexagon 14 1/2 x 12 9/16 x 18 3/4

20 Hexagon 18 3/4 x 16 1/4 x 20 5/8

-Good luck.

it really depends on what shape it is. Also on how long and tall. But for reference my 10 gallon tank is 2 ft tall by 5 ft long and 2 ft wide.
