so I'm trying to figure out how much water I have to do a proper water change. I know that water is approx 8 lbs. I have 35lbs of rock ( approx) 60 Lbs of Fiji pink live sand in a 45 gallon JBJ nano,
How to I figure out how much the rock and sand is displacing water and how much water I actually have.
Thanks
 
Wow I was only twelve gallons off from my uneducated guess. And ten of those gallons where from not remembering my refugium size. Nice calculator.
