Not certain but I'd say the tank is approx. 5 x 3 x 2 metre = 30000 L or 7925 US G

or A LOT in other words!

Indeed. The tank is situated in Amano's back room, exiting to his garden, that needless to say is another masterpiece, very wabi-sabi. My wife says it's an overgrown mess, she's a Dutch style girl at heart, although she'd have no idea what I'm talking about!
