    What does it mean with the "High, Long, Extra High, and Breeder" thingy at the bottom of the chart?

    Random question but what makes a breeder tank a breeder tank lol? To help you understand what I am asking let me ask another question, why is one tank better than another at making fish want to breed?

    It doesn't make the fish want to breed. Basically they're just shorter tanks with with the same footprint.

    Here is the method I use for finding the tank volume
    L X H X W X 0.0045 this gives the volume in US Gallons.
    :D

    thanks for the conversion charts. I said earlier that we were not sure of the size 150-200. the measurements are 85x24x18 165gl?????? Is that possible. Is the tank old or custom.

    I think the 0.0045 is a little off. I think it's more like 0.0041 according to my calculations. That would put your tank at 150 gallons.
