If they are counting the long ends as 45” then it is obviously about 60% of a rectangular tank. Probably 110-140 gallons?? Something like that.So they say 45”*45”*20” which is indeed 175 gallons but only for a rectangular tank. With no schematic it could be anything.
No sump. purchased the freshwater tank. not ready to commit to the saltwater setup yet until I'm sure I will be in this house for a while.Perhaps they were meant to come with sump initially for a total of 175 Gallon?
Need to loop in @TenecorAquariums to be fair.
see "pentagon" calculator above thread45 x45x20/231= 175g so what's the problem
Hi there. First of all, you are correct. The dimensions and gallons are for a rectangular aquarium. The listings are being corrected. The rep you were in contact with, she no longer is with team. Conincidently this morning we reviewed your email threads with her and her supervisor should have contacted you by now to make arrangements to return the aquarium. Her tone of voice was not appropriate. That is not how we operate.see "pentagon" calculator above thread
The rep dealing with this person did exactly what you said. She entered the two dims as both the long and short legs. She is a very sweet young lady. A third grade school teacher and was having a bad time due to some personal issues with her little boy. She is back to teaching and regrets being short with this buyer.This is so simple guys.
They advertise it right there as 45x45x20. A 45x45x20 rectangular tank is 175g. Now cut an entire corner off? Much less than 175 gallons. Someone at tenecor messed this up.
They probably stuck 45 inches in for both the long side and the short side and got 175 gallons. If the long side is 45 inches then, being generous, the short side is 10 inches, and the entire volume is 125 gallons.
And I would be completely not shocked if the customer service rep at the company didn't understand any of this. I can remember arguing with verizon when they thought 0.01$ was the same as 0.01¢.
