One would think, but the glass is so thick and I lose an inch along the top of the tank, and displacement from the rock.Isn’t the tank alone 65 gallons?
Plus the displacement of the rockIsn’t the tank alone 65 gallons?
I can’t imagine the rock displaces that much. Looks to be maybe 30 lbs (13607 g) of rock in there. With my calculation assuming most of the rock is calcite, aragonite, and dolomite (say average density of 2.9 g/cm^3) the rock would displace about 1.241 gallons (assuming freshwater with 1ml=1cm^3 displaced). Now even if you double that, 60lbs rock it’s only 2.4 gallons.Plus the displacement of the rock

I guess calculation works out if you use the inner dimensions of the tank and water line. 47x17x15” would give 51.895 gallons. Take away the 30 lbs or rocks you are right around 50 gallons.
Anyways, we are overthinking it. Nice 65 gallon tank!
No problem. Have lots of time on my hands, waiting for glue to dry...Lol thx
What do you have under the skimmer? Biofillter media? Good use of space lifts the skimmer and serves as a filter! Awesome.
Why temporary ? What will change ?View attachment 18137 Temporary sump setup!
Components may change and I’m not certain if I’ll keep the sump layout yet.Why temporary ? What will change ?
