I just did a quick calculation.

26ft = 312 Inches.
13ft = 156 Inches.
6 ft = 72 Inches.

Now, to get the volume of an aquarium, you multiply the given dimensions then divide by 231.
312x156x72 Divided by 231 = 15,170 Gallons. Is there a reasonable answer for this?:confused::confused::screwy:

It depends what kind of gallons you are calculating - there is a big difference between Imperial (UK) galloons and US gallons (not sure what u use in Oz..). For Imperial gallons, you divide by 276 which gives you 12,697 gallons for the overall 'box' size. So if you take the volume of the walls and substrate away from that, you're back in the 10,000 gallon range....
