conversion from gallons to foot

[tanya1974]

hi , just wondered if anyone can explain the gallon thing.. here in the u.k we only use gallons for fish tanks not vivariums. It looks by waht i have read over the past year that usa peeps use the term gallons for your vivs. I know i must sound like a rite blonde but i just dont get it. i cant remark on if a tank is to small for the beardie if i dont get the grip on converting. we use foot and inches. example my viv is 8 foot tall and 5 foot wide ... :study:

I get confused by this too,
If it helps mine is 4ft by 2 ft and mines a 75 gal... so im guessing about 100 or so?

Obviously the weights aren't right because we don't fill our vivs with water over here.
Hopefully this helps.

You can calculate the cubic feet pretty easily of your viv/tank and then google will convert it for you if you do XX cubic feet to gallons

I was going to suggest that a 6 x 2 x 2, which I have my little man in, is roughly 175 gallons. However, its sad. He never uses it. Obviously they are more of a basking rep but I thought he would utilize the extra room...nope! 175 gallons to run around an move and he only uses like 50 of it. Sad.
