Hi Team,

I'm currently in the middle of cycling my first tank and while researching various things I realised I was unsure of something... When somebody quotes their tank size, are they talking about their display tank? Or their total water volume i.e. tank + sump?

Thanks,

Eros
 
Size of the tank is tank volume only. Size of the system is the volume totality of all. So refer to system volume vs tank volume.
 
I refer to my system volume but mine is an All-in-one system with no sump. I actually have no idea what my Display area actually is :). Now I have to look it up.
 
I will say my DT and sump size when I talk about it. I have a 75 gallon DT and 20 gallon long sump about 3/4-ish full. So about 90 gallons not accounting for live rock and sand displacement.
