Sorry when I did the math I must have put 40" but to go to decimal point... If you tank the inside dimensions of the tank it holds less water. I would agree more with 125 gallon then 124.67 as the later states an exact amount, where as, 125 is an approximate, or 120-110 would be even closer depending on the size of the glass. For example my tank has outside dimensions give my tank a "displacement" volume of 364.68 But the inside dimensions are closer to 320 gallons. I guess most aquarium manufactures like to make their tanks sound bigger so they put the displacement volume rather then the volume they can hold... /end rant. Sorry about that, I' just jealous of the life in your tank.
