shao-lin nano Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 no prob, the FTS will be up tonight. the dimensions are 41x18x18 According to RCs Tank Calculator, 41x18x18 is 57.5g not 53. Are you subtracting the space taken up by the overflow box and the thickness of the walls or did I miss something ? Link to comment
