Huh I guess I didn’t realize that. Isn’t a 170 like 34 gallons of display? 45 just seems like it would be wayyy noticeable bigger. I can understand the 200 being almost the same tho.

Thanks for pointing that out
Reefer 160:
Dimensions: 23.6“L x 19.7“W x 20.1“H
My calculations say 40.6 gallons using the outside dimensions.

Reefer 200:
Dimensions - 24"L x 21"H x 22.6"W
49.4 gallons using the outside dimensions.

SCA 45 gallon:
Dimensions: 24x20x20"
41.7 gallons using the outside dimensions.
Price = 499 including shipping

The glass cages tanks seem to use the outside dimensions and use that for telling you gallons, where SCA and RS are rounding...and RS is total system volume in liters including sump.

@nereefpat Thats right.

we are just using the simple equation

(Length X Width x Height)/231=Gallons.

simple and quick. tons of programing to do the inner dimension on our building tool. The variation of tanks built with 1/4" to 3/4" thick glass. Just trying to keep it simple.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. So the reefer 170 is actually underrated in what they tell you for gallons?

Also I did not get a email that you replied. Can’t figure my email settings out
