Assuming that it's a rectangular tank, measure the length, width, and height in feet. Multiply all those together. That's the volume in cubic feet. Divide by 7.48 to convert to gallons. This is the capacity if you fill it to the top, which, of course, you won't. You figure out the volume in inches or feet or whatever. A rectangular or square= length x width x height. Then ask a professional to see how much water is in a square foot or inch or whatever the measurement is.

length in inches x width in inches x height in inches = ??? cu inches. 1 gallon of water is 231 cubic inches so (??? cubic inches divided by 231) will give you the maximum capacity of the tank in US gallons when filled to the brim.

Detrmine the number of cubic feet in your tank by multiplying the depth of the tank, by the width times the length. This gives you a volume. Take this number and multiply it by 7.48 gallons per cubic feet. Answer is in gallons.

It depends on the fish size. For fishes 3 inches and under, it would be 1 gallon of water per 1 inch of fish. Fish over 3 inches should have 3 gallons of water per inch of fish.

You need to measure the length, height, and width of your aquarium.

You have a 3 gallon pail and a 7 gallon pail how could you use these pails to put exactly 8 gallons of water in an aquarium?

Easy. Fill the 7gal pail to the full mark (7 Gallons) with water. Then pour, from the 7 gallon pail, water into each of the 3 gallon pail up to the full mark. The remaining water left in the 7 gallon is 1 gallon. Pour this gallon into the aquarium. Fill the 7 gallon pail with water, again to the full mark, and then add to the aquarium. 1 Gallon + 7 Gallons = 8 Gallons.
