1 gallon = 4.54 litres and weighs 10lbs. 1 cubic foot holds 6.25 gallons
1 litre = 0.22 gallons contains 1,000 cubic centimetres (ccs) and weighs 1 kilogram

AQUARIUM CAPACITIES

Length X Width X Depth (in feet) X 6.25 = gallons
Length X Width X Depth (in centimetres) divided by 1000 = litres

Standard aquarium capacities (in inches)

18 X 10 X 10 = 6 gallons 24 X 15 X 12 = 15 gallons
36 X 15 X 12 = 20 gallons 48 X 15 X 12 = 30 gallons

Conversions

Fahrenheit to Centigrade : F - 32 X 5/9 = C
Centigrade to Fahrenheit : C X 9/5 + 32 = F
