I'm kind of a metric guy, but using the converter I get it to 0,3 metres * 0,2 metres * 0,2 metres... Which makes it 12 litres. 12 litres == 3,171 US Gallons

mines a 3 gallon and the dimentions are 12 inches(wide) by 8(high) inches by 8(length) inches
does that mean mines a 1 gallon?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. your tank comes out to 12.585 cubic centimetersin all, which amounts to 3,32 US gals. Less the glass thickness, and the air at the top, you should be pretty close to 3 gals.
Note: My measurements are in centimeters, and that probably threw u off
In inches mine is roughly a 10 x 5 x 8

well a good way to also do it with a small tank would be to pour a gallon in at a time until its full and of course count how many u poured in
