    Measure the inside dimensions and multiply it out. Length x Width x Hight= ? Then divide ? by 231. That tells you exactly how many gallons it will hold.

    It's a 60 tall then. Cool. I had one. I wasn't crazy about it's deminsions as a Discus tank (too high) but I bet that it will make a killer Reef tank. I know a guy on another forum who rescued a 75 (if I remember correctly) from a dumpster. Ahhhh, a 75 makes a wonerful Discus tank.

    Congratulations to you! Please post back with progress reports after you get it up and running.

    I'd be really leary of doing a reef in a tank I don't know if it ever had copper in it.

    You are correct. 75's are awesome. Nice size and easy to clean. I have two of them.
