Gross vs. Net Estimate

Visualizer

Net volume assumes ~15% displacement for substrate and decor.

Why Precision Matters

A healthy tank starts with knowing exactly how much water you have.

Safe Dosing

Medicines and conditioners are potent. Accurately knowing your volume prevents toxic overdoses or ineffective underdosing.

Stocking Logic

Your tank's biological capacity is limited by volume. Use this number to calculate stocking density and keep stress levels low.

Equipment Sizing

Heaters and filters are rated by gallonage. Matching equipment to your true volume ensures efficiency and stability.

Gross vs. Net Volume

The calculator provides the Gross Volume (empty tank). However, substrate, rocks, and decorations displace water. Most aquarists subtract 10-20% to find the Net Volume (actual water).

Pro Tip: Use Net Volume for medication dosing.
