[quote="melbell86"]ok i guess its a 26 gallon[quote="melbell86"]
24"L x 15"W x 21"H = 32.72 gallons. According to my calculation anyways
24 x 15 x 21 divided by 231=32. Not sure if I am doing this wrong. I didn't use one of those online tank calculators but this is the general gallons. Give or take a few

Do you have a GSP yet? The 28g would be a great tank for 2 F8s.

Yes she has a small one named George which she just upgraded from a 10 gallon (after finding The Puffer Forum and reading). She now realizes that maybe she should of gone larger.

well its a bow front 26, its says its 26 gallons but those are the dimensions straight off the site. I thought it seemed pretty big for a 26. If its 32 thats awesome!
pufferpunk i currently have a baby gsp

I am researching going full marine, and i would probably want atleast a 55 gallon for a FOWLR tank. A tank with 5 dwarf puffs would be soooo awesome
Im guessing MTS stands for "many tank syndrome"? If so i think i have it . . . im already planning future tanks ahhh!

ok i measured the tank myself and here is what i got
24"L x 10.5"W x 21"H
the tank is a bow front, so the length on the front is 26" and the length on the back is 24". The sides are actually 10.5" not 15 as it reports. Hmm
Im not sure how you would calculate the gallons, since its a bow front design. Here is a picture

Since the front is 26" & the back is 24", that would average out to 25". So I placed 25"L x 10.5"W x 21"H here
