How do I find out how many litres/gallons in my tank?

I've got a custom made tank, for my TV Aquarium I'm making, (will post pics when finished), and I need to know how many litres there is.

It's 530mm x 425mm x 230mm
(length) (height) (depth)


How do I work it out, or can someone work it out for me?

Into Litres, AND gallons...

Thankyou all so much

You've been great.

RogerMcAllen has started an aquarium
530cm x 425cm x 230cm = 51807500 [acronym:e53af95089="Crushed Coral (if substrate) or Corvuscorax (if referring to person) or Counter Current (if referring to a Protien skimmer) or cubic centimeter (if referring to a measure of volume)."]CC[/acronym:e53af95089]'s
1 [acronym:e53af95089="Crushed Coral (if substrate) or Corvuscorax (if referring to person) or Counter Current (if referring to a Protien skimmer) or cubic centimeter (if referring to a measure of volume)."]CC[/acronym:e53af95089] = 1 mL
1000mL = 1 L
so 51807.5 Litres

51807 in Litres is equivilent to 13687.4094 in US Gallons
I think your measurements might be off, 5.3 meteres by 4.25 meters by 2.3 meters is way too big to be a tv. Hope this helps

Click on the calculator link above. We have many calculators that will help you.

Our calculator does require the mesurements to be in inches. But after that you can get the approx [acronym:5c54172c8f="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:5c54172c8f] rating as well as then convert that to litres.
