Length times width times depth divided by 231.

hmmm i got 11.26gal or 43.78L

10 gal it is!!

BigDaddy

You got 11 gallons because you measured the outside of the tank.

If you want the "real" value... you have to take the measurements INSIDE the glass.  Depending on the size of the tank (and thus the thickness of the glass), an outside measurement will sometimes yield you another few "extra gallons"   :lol:
