Calculation Tools For Aquarium And Water Filters

29 oktober 2020

When you have a aquaria or a water filter then sometimes you might need to calculate things like the volume of your aquarium, the volume of a filter or the pump capacity. We made the following  support tools to help.


  • Aquarium volume (square) and pump capacity calculator
  • Filter volume calculator (Cylinder)
  • Media volume in filter calculator


For the same in inches, feet and US Gallons go to Calculation tool 1

Aquarium volume and pump capacity calculator

Do you want to calculate the volume of an square shaped aquarium and the pump capacity that you could use? Then use below calculation tool.

Length (cm)
Width (cm)
Heigth (cm)
Aquarium Volume in litres (l)
Aquarium Volume in cubic meter (m3)
Pump capacity (4x) in litres per hour (l/h)
Pump capacity (4x) in m3 per hour (m3/h)

Filter volume calculator

When you have a cylindrical filter for purification of your pool or aquarium then it is useful to be able to calculate the volume of your filter with below calculation tool.

Filter Radius (cm)
Filter Heigth (cm)
Filter Volume in litres (l)
Filter Volume in cubic meter (m3)

Filter Media Volume Calculator

When you need to replace you filter media (sand, resins or carbon) it is good to know how much you need to purchase. With the volume of your filter (see above tool) and the density of the media you can calculate how much media you need for your aquaria, pond or pool filter for example.

Filter Volume in litres (l)
Density of filtration media (kg/m3)
Kg Filter Media (Kg)
Gram Filter Media (g)
