If I wanted a tank to be 4K gallons, and two feet deep, how would I calculate the Length X Width?

Volume=Length x width x height...

A US gallon is 0.133680555 cubic feet.

So 4000 gallons x 0.133680555 = 534.7

So in your case L x W x 2 = 534.7...

Up to you what you want L and W to be.

For example: W=10

L x 10 x 2 = 534.7

L x 20 =534.7

L = 534.7/20

L = 26.735

So, a tank 26.735' x 10' x 2' = 4000 gallons

Or I could be showing that I only got a C+ in college calculus and that was 10 years ago and I have no clue what the heck I am talking about!

There is ~7.5 gal water in a cubic ft so you want about 533 cu ft of water. Divide that by 2 ft deep and you want you length and width when multiplied together to equal about 266.

14x19, 16.3x16.3, 13.3x20, 22x12 would all get you close. Those are some big tanks!

Sounds like I'd better go 2.5 feet deep!

So double check my math, please.

If the tank were 40 feet long, by 5 feet wide, by 2.5 feet deep it would be how many gallons?

...about 3750?

Yep

Watch'a building now Dr.Bruce?

Something so cool, that it is beyong the imagination of most ordinary men.

It will rival the space shuttle in it's complexity.

Bruce - I know, I know.....

Dr. Bruce! Dr. Bruce! Can I drive it? Can I drive it? Pretty please? I do have experience, although not all of it completely successful. They only had to take the keys away from me once.!

Of course you can!

When you see it, you'll want one of your own.

Well, there goes 10 million dollars.

Theo you would have to bring up the ONLY time the keys were taken away.

Can I drive it since I think I did the math right???

Just how thick IS that fish? WOW!

That thing is round!
