How to Use This Calculator

The Aquarium Calculator helps you plan and maintain a healthy aquatic environment. Here's how to use it:

  1. Enter your tank dimensions in either inches or centimeters
  2. Review the calculated volume in both gallons and liters
  3. Check the recommended stocking levels based on fish size
  4. Note the maintenance requirements for proper tank care

Important Notes

  • Stocking levels are guidelines based on the "inch per gallon" rule
  • Consider fish species compatibility and territorial behavior
  • Regular water testing is essential for fish health
  • Maintain consistent maintenance schedules

Best Practices

  • Cycle your tank before adding fish
  • Add fish gradually to maintain water quality
  • Keep consistent maintenance schedules
  • Monitor water parameters regularly
  • Research specific needs of your chosen fish species
