which is about a foot deep....but....because it was just given to me by a friend (it wasn't shop bought!!) i have no idea how much water it will hold in litres.

It already came with the water and everything I need to get started (I've had to do a water treatment and everything so there are no fish in)

It IS ready for the fish to go in though as it's been settling for the past 2 weeks as advised.
Problem is, the fish I'm looking at all say they need to be in a tank of a certain size and there aren't any measurements in feet or anything to go by, only how many litres of water needed for them to live comfortably!
Does anybody have the same sort of size tank and know the amount of water it will hold please?

Thanks!
Cheers everyone!
You've all been really helpful-I'm very keen to start filling the tank up, I used to keep a tropical aquarium which was alot smaller than the one I have now! ;)
 
what fish u putting in?
i have marine in a 4 foot tank. the tank i have i just fill it till its full :\ and my fish are okey
 
A four foot fish tank is big enough for most fish.

Stick to the smaller species and they will have more "room" to swim.
 
i would say that size tank would be about 450-500 liters or about a 120us gallon 99 uk gallon
 
Measure it. One litre of water will fill a 10x10x10 cube. So if your tank is 4ftx1ftx1ft then it will hold 120*30*30= 108000 cubic centimetres of water or 108 litres.
