    Question Determining Gallon Equivelant: Horizontal vs Vertical?

    I've read on here that the recommended tank size for WTFs is 20 gallon for the first frog and 10 gal for each additional frog, but the Exo-Terras don't list gallon equivelant, so how many WTFs could the following tanks safely hold under proper conditions?

    Exo-Terra Natural Terrarium Large/Tall

    90 x 45 x 60 cm / 36” x 18” x 24” (WxDxH)

    Natural Terrarium Large/X-Tall

    90 x 45 x 90 cm / 36” x 18” x 36” (WxDxH)

    Exo-Terra Natural Terrarium Medium/Tall

    60 x 45 x 60 cm / 24” x 18” x 24” (WxDxH)

    Natural Terrarium Medium/X-Tall

    60 x 45 x 90 cm / 24” x 18” x 36” (WxDxH)

    1 gallon is almost 3,8 liters, so 10 gallon tank would be 38 liters etc..
    I had similar problem other way around =)

    I you wanna know how many liters from the measurements in cm, just multiply all together and divide it by 1000..
    example: 60cm x 45cm x 90cm = 243000 cm3 = 243 liters = 64 gallons
    ..now, I guess they don't calculate the full measurements, so this one would be 60 gallon tank

    Um....??? What I want to know is how many "gallons" each of the previously mentioned Exo-Terras is for size comparison in housing WTFS. Sorry about that if I wasn't clear!
