HOw do you figure out how many gallons a pond is? I know there is a way how to figure it out but i forgot. Anyone know a link or something that has the awnser?

Here is the formula you can use

Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) x Average Depth (ft.) x 7.5 = volume of water


Or there are sites that have a calculator handy for you, I've noticed that some come up with different answers not sure why

There are a lot of them as you can see

Ok , thanks.

I did the formula and it added up to 6275.0. Is that gallons, liters or the volume? I thought it was litres so i did it as liters and it came to 1300 something gallons, that doesnt sound right at all. The length is 7 ft. the width is 5 ft. and the depth is 20 inches. Anyone know how many gallons it is?

7 X 5 X 1.8(20inch) X 7.5 = 472.5 gallons

This is the easiest I've found:

Tank calculator

It says "436 US gallons" and "Wow! That's quite a tank!"

I found a small tub in the garage.Just wondering how many gallons it is.
It's round and the diameter=20 inches,deepness=7 inches.

'Bout 9.5 gallons.

That came from my head, by the way... not go0gle.

Thanks I'm not a math lover. sorry to the math lovers

The formula I use to compute gallons is just

(cubic inches) / 231.


Finding cubic inches depends on the shape of the container, but if it's a rectangle it's just

(length) x (width) x (height)

with all sides measured in inches.


Edit: Thought I had a pic of me in my "Math Masters" shirt around here somewhere... guess not.

Thanks

wow
im way overstocked
only 1300gallons and 14 kois + goldies
i probably have to increase depth of my pond
anyone else overstocked?

Ok, cool, 473 gal. Not bad. I was overstocked kinda, I had 2 koi in that pond.
