Juwel Vision 260 - actual volume?
I was talking to a friend about the Juwel Vision 260 and am struggling to work out the litres that the tank holds. The website states 260 litres / 68 us gallons with the tank measuring 121 cm long x 46 cm wide x 64 cm high.
But when I calculate the actual volume it comes to 356 litres or 94 us gallons.
Why? Is there something I am missing when calculating this?

Maybe you have the wrong dimensions? Also remember you won't have water filled all the way to the top so that reduces the amount of water by an amount.

What Rainbows said, also gravel, rocks and wood add to water displacement.

Actual tank volume, on measurements provided, 356 ltr. Likely though that the curved front throws out the calculation by a significant margin as the 46 cm measure would be "maximum" width.
Cheers,
