FAQ
Why convert aquarium liters to gallons?
Many pumps, filters and tank accessories are sold by gallon rating, even when the tank itself is labeled in liters.
Should I use the rounded answer?
Use a rounded answer for quick reading, but keep the exact value when the number affects a record, purchase, recipe, schedule or specification.
Why include nearby conversion links?
Nearby links make it easy to compare similar values without typing a new query, which is useful when the first number was only an estimate.
