new55galSALT Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Ok I got what I thought was a 75 gallon a long time ago....I bought a light that came off a standard 75 gallon it was about 3-4" short on length ....just picked up a canopy to go on it that was for a 75 or 90 gallon....still 3-4" too short..... Am I losing my mind or do I have some special size tank ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 What are the dimensions of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 75 Glass tanks are made in the following dimensions: L x W x H Long 72x18x13" Tall 48x18x21" There may also be a shallow variety but I don't have the dimensions for that one. The easiest thing is to type the dimensions into a tank calculator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new55galSALT Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 My tank size is apparently 51"L x 22"H x 16" making it a 77.7 gallon tank.....I'm guess I'm screwed for conventional sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOceanTraveler Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It is L x W x H then divide by 231= gal capacity. At least that is what I found on the internet and so I am sure it is true If not exact it is pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new55galSALT Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I used a online calculator to find out that it's 77.7 gallons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I've never seen a tank that length. You may have to supplement with eggcrate or have a to cut Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
