hi to all,
can anyone help me with converting the volume of water in an aquarium using the measurement of length width and height into weight in kg and or pounds. ie with a formulae like gallons =LxWxH in inches divided by 231...... thanks.

1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds or 3.78 Kg

1 cu ft of water holds 7.48 gallons or 3.39Kg

So if the tank is 24'' x 12'' x 12'' = 3456 / 231= 14.96 gallons

15 gallons x 8.34 = 125.1 pounds or 58.6Kg
