Aquarium Volume Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the aquarium volume (AV) is:

\[ AV = \frac{AL \times AW \times WD}{231} \]

Where:

\( AV \) is the aquarium volume (gallons)
\( AL \) is the aquarium length (inches)
\( AW \) is the aquarium width (inches)
\( WD \) is the aquarium depth (inches)

What is Aquarium Volume?

Aquarium volume is the total capacity of the aquarium, measured in gallons. It is calculated based on the dimensions of the aquarium: length, width, and depth. Knowing the volume is important for maintaining the right water conditions and ensuring the health of the aquatic life.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Aquarium Length (\( AL \)): 48 inches
Aquarium Width (\( AW \)): 18 inches
Aquarium Depth (\( WD \)): 21 inches

Step 1: Calculate the aquarium volume:

\[ AV = \frac{48 \times 18 \times 21}{231} = 78.26 \text{ gallons} \]

Therefore, the aquarium volume is 78.26 gallons.
