Important tips!
When calculating your aquarium's volume, it's important to remember that substrates, decorations, equipment like filters and heaters, and even the plants you add will occupy space, thereby reducing the amount of water your aquarium can actually hold. To account for this displacement and ensure a more accurate assessment of your aquarium's water volume, we recommend subtracting 10-15% from the calculated volume. This adjustment helps in making more precise decisions regarding stocking, water treatment, and filtration capacity. By considering these factors, you'll create a more balanced and safer environment for your aquatic life, ensuring their health and well-being.
Use our calculator to ensure a healthy, balanced home for your fish and plants. It's the essential first step for anyone serious about their aquatic environment.
