I remember coming across a formula for calculating how much water you can put in either a round or square material, but now I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated

It's Wickipedia, but might help....also, 1cu ft. = 7.48 gal., for a tube. pi x r squared by your length for cubic inches.

If you're comfortable with metric, 1cc = 1ml. Calculate the volume in cc, which also happens to be the number of ml. Then convert to gallons.

Well, that's how I'd do it. But then I'm nuts. :lol:
