I was gonna get a Rio 180 but not sure if it would be too heavy for my bedroom floor Plus the stand isnt exactly the best for distributing weigh over a wide amount of space lol. Google Metric Conversions, thats what I use to work these thing out

Knox, Google is your friend. Try typing "180 litres in US gallons" into a Google search tool and it returns 47.5509694 US gallons. You can do similar things with temperatures, lengths, etc.

or even just "180l in us gal" works

180l = 40 imperial gallons or 48 US gallons (I work in imperial gallons as I'm in the UK not the USA)

Don't forget that a 180l tank does not hold 180l of water. You need to knock off a bit for water displacement due to decor, substrate etc and remember that you don't fill it to the very brim.

Your tank will hold about 150/160l of actual water = 35 imperial gallons or 42 US gallons so this is what you need to use when planning stock levels.

By the way, there is a calculator section on the forum -

Mine was going to be in my room. But my mom thought the amount of sockets i needed would blow up my room due to the amount of eletric in there (well fuse blow... Not the room )

i use this site to work out litres, gallons, convert litres to gallons or US gallons, inches to centimetres and everything

 

[Knox213]

thanks Haych.

Are you buying another Rio 180??

 

[minxfishy]

When you have put the substrate in, decor etc, measure from the top of the substrate to the top water line, then use the calculator on the forum, it will give you a more accurate answer as to how many gallons it is once filled.

 

[Knox213]

should be about 170 litre's as i did't overload the tank with gravel.

 

[Haych]

why you ask that knox?

 

[Knox213]

Because your thread said you will swap youre 260 For a Rio + £200

Im just being nosey and wondering
