It's 3feet long by about 1 foot wide and then the height is about 1.5 feet.

The lady who sold me it said it was a 30 gallon. But when I was looking for a Hood for it...it said it was either for a 30 or 40-45 gallon tank O.O So....Yeah. HELP! Thanks.

silver8328
The 231 is the number of cubic inches per 1 gallon (US).
