Is my tank 180Litres? and how many gallons??

Question

180cm long, 50cm wide and 60cm tall. Im an Australian so we use litres and my friend told me my tank is 180L But is it? And how many gallons? (i dont know how many gallons in a litre)

Thanks the link was GREAT!!! My tank is 540Litres and 142 gallons. Copperhead you already know what fish i have so how many more should i get given that ill get rid of my shark and ramirez's?

No its not.... that is my guppy tank WAY smaller (im stll dealing with that = { Oh my god...)

I have
1 electric yellow
1 electric blue
1 cichlid that i think might be a peacock, very placid, lightblue body darkyellow dorsal fins a sinlge yellow spot on lower dorsal fin and a fine pattern of lightyellow dots on tail and lower dorsal fin.
1 manigano (that i might have to take back)
1 bristle nose catfish
1 cory catfish (im going to get about 6 all up)

also have the shark and dwarf at present but all up when theyre gone ill have 4 (maybe 3 if manigano goes)fish and 7 catfish.

I thought my tank was only 180L so i had enough fish but now im not sure..

Also no fish looked infected with that paracite thing thats killed my female guppies. I now only have 2 males and 30 fry left...no one else is showing signs, the females just turned over and died....

So in a nut shell my cichlids SHOULD be fine....treatment on standby i dont want to over react.. Thanks for ur help!!

Also...sorry about the noval but out of everybody on here YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST!! Your always right and have helped me so so much THANK YOU!!

OH MERRY CHRISTMAS

Answer 1

An excellent way for you to find out volumes of aquaria: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/converter/volume-calculator.php

It's 118 UK gallons, 142 US gallons, 540 liters

You caught that I copied the UK gallons number instead of the liters! I fixed that above.

Is this the tank where there was a possible camallanus infection? I'd make sure that is postitively identified and gets resolved before you add any other fish.

You have electric yellows and electric blues I believe. How many of each? Any others?

Answer 2

180cm x 50cm x 60cm = 540000 cubic centimeters.
There are 1000 cubic centimeters in a litre. 540000/1000 = 540 litres.

So the answer to your first question is your tank has a capacity of 540 litres.

liter = 0.264172 gallon

540 x .264172 = 142.65288

Your tank has the capacity for 142.65288 gallons.
