Your tank is not as big as you think it is!

Yeah I was VERY surprised to see that a 75 with a 2inch sand bed is really a 58 gallon!

Wow, my 75gal w/substrate is actually a 58 gal. With 100 lbs of live rock that probably gets reduced way more!!

Doesn't everyone take into account that you need to measure the tank from the inside and not the outside glass. Also you have to take into account the sand, rock, corals, pumps, heater and other equipment and they'll reduce the water volume in your tank.
