About the 55-gallon hexagonal tank
A 55-gallon hexagonal aquarium holds roughly 208.2 liters of water at full volume. Because this shape is tall relative to its footprint, surface area for gas exchange is smaller than a long rectangular tank of the same volume, worth keeping in mind for stocking. Remember the usable water volume is a bit lower than the geometric volume once you add substrate, rocks and leave the water line below the rim. Enter your tank's real measurements above for an exact figure, then head to the stocking calculator before adding fish.
