Aquarium Volume Calculator — Shrimp Tanks
Instant volume for rectangular and cylindrical tanks, with substrate and hardscape taken off so you see the true usable water volume for dosing and water changes.
Building a shrimp paradise or a calm nano community? Accurate dosing starts with knowing your real water volume. Glass dimensions don’t tell the whole story: substrate and hardscape displace water, so conditioners, fertilizers and meds should be calculated from what’s left in the water column. This calculator subtracts the footprint of your chosen substrate depth (using front and back depths) and then removes a percentage for rock and wood to give a realistic, shrimp-safe number.
Pick a substrate type and we’ll estimate how many kilograms you’ll need based on common bulk densities used by aquarists.

Tap Water Dechlorinator — Dose & Cost
Instantly calculate how much dechlorinator your shrimp tank needs based on UK-market products. Works with Seachem Prime, API, Tetra, Fluval, NT Labs and more — or enter your own custom brand. Toggle litres ↔ % for water-changes and see an estimated £ cost per change.
Choose your dechlorinator. Select Other / Custom to enter “X mL treats Y litres”.
Safety: Use only as directed on the bottle. “Double” strength is for chloramine emergencies and should be used only when allowed by the manufacturer.
Water-Change Planner — Shrimp Tanks
Plan how much a water change will reduce ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. Add your source water if you blend tap/RO for realistic results.
