Aquarium Calculator

Enter your tank's length, width and height to get the real water volume in litres and gallons — plus the heater wattage, filter flow rate and glass thickness that suit it. Presets for common tank sizes included.

FAQ

How do I calculate aquarium volume in litres?

Multiply length × width × water height in centimetres and divide by 1000 — e.g. a 60 × 30 × 35 cm tank holds 63 litres. The calculator does this instantly and converts to US/UK gallons.

How many watts does my aquarium heater need?

A solid rule is 1 watt per litre for heating the water 8–10 °C above room temperature, or ~0.5 W/L in warm rooms. The heater tab applies this to your exact volume.

What filter flow rate do I need?

Most community tanks want the full volume circulated 4–6 times per hour. A 100-litre tank therefore needs a filter rated 400–600 L/h.
