Question about my aquarium

[Michele_Mace]

My aquarium is 6 ft in length, 2 1/2 ft in width and 1 1/2 in height. So how many gallons is it?

Try this

It should solve your question/problem.

I get 168 US gallons

And 140 UK gallons.

Is this right?!

 

[Maro2Bear]

72 inches x 30 inches x 18 inches.

 

[Moozillion]

WOW!!! That is a huge aquarium! Did you build it??

 

[Michele_Mace]

No we just bought it. 78 x 30 x 18

 

[Michele_Mace]

I think it may have been custom made for them though cuz this calculator thing says its 182 gallons, which I've never heard of before.

What do you plan on using this aquarium for?

 

[Michele_Mace]

Hopefully two western painted turtles but right now I only have one western painted turtle.

Western painted turtles are endangered…

 

[Michele_Mace]

Western painted turtles are sold in pet stores in the area I am located.

Post a picture of your turtle. We love pictures!

Hello Michele
Your aquarium will stay clearner longer if you teach your turtles to eat out of a plastic tub .

Western Painted turtles are not endangered, or even close to being threatened. Very common turtle to find.

Here in Oregon we had many. Not so many now. Our two species of native Oregon turtles are the western pond turtle and the western painted turtle. Both are listed as “critical” on the state's sensitive species list.

My apologies. I've checked and in Idaho they are seen as, “Apparently Secure" whereas here in Oregon they are seen as, “Imperiled".

Hi Michele,
Are you interested in rescuing a Painted? I do a lot of rescue in Eastern, WA and was contacted by someone needing to rehome a 12 year old Painted. I don't know much more but would be happy to get further details if you were at all interested. The turtle is in Walla Walla.

Thanks.

PS: feel free to check me out via Facebook or my website to see what I do and verify I'm for real.

I live in Idaho so Walla Walla is very far away.
