Or ask google

Type this into the search box:

48 in * 24 in * 18 in to us gallons =

Google knows a lot of units and is a rather handy calculator.

Thats how I did it. I took from a gallon from the display and then put it in the sump.

I'm still going...my 3x2x2 is very deceptive. I've been at this 3 days now

Dammit why didn't I think of that. I've been using a Coke can. It's hard to drink this much soda in a day too.
