How many gallons is my tank ? How many Cichlids can I have?

[darinc]

OK my tank measures
36 long
18 deep
22 tall

I can not find this size any where I purchased it second hand.

What you have is about 55 - 60 gallons. The rule of thumb is 1"of fish per gallon, but that number can go higher with additional filtration. When you figure things out use the fully grown size of the fish.

[ddaquaria]

Length times width times height divided by 231

On the bottom left of this page --> http://www.houstonfishbox.com/vforum...and-Converters is a calculator to give you the volume of the tank. Just plug those numbers in and it should spit out the number of gallons.

It's the same dimensions of an oceanic 58g

Interesting. I've always figured length of fish in relationship to length of tank.

36" tank = 36" of fish.
