I'm a little confused. What's the difference between an Imperial gallon, a British gallon and a US gallon? I have a Juwel tank and is 15 gallons. But how do I know if it's a British gallon or an US gallon? Does anyone know where this company comes from?

Thanks

Hi Gwenz,

I didn't know there was a difference between the Imperial and British measurements... 1 US gallon is approx .83 Imperial gallon. Heres more info:

Juwels may be made in Germany: www.juwel-aquarium.de

Thanks Mike. I think maybe imp. gallons and british gallons are the same. I was just wondering if maybe there was a difference.

Thanks again

The box it came in should tell you...Since the US is probably the only country that still uses the standard system of measurement, I would think that it's safe to say that it's probably US gallons.

You can also measure the tank and go by that. I have a 15g that measures 12"x12"x24"........

Thanks vin. My tank is the exact same size as yours so now I know!
