1 gallon = Litter, how many? I used a converter on my mobile phone and it said that 30 gallons is something like 117 litters and I find this insane it must be wrong or is it not?
1 gallon is 3.78541178 litres
This is a philosophy problem. You have one 18 gallon bucket and one 13 gallon bucket. You have an infinite amount of water. Both buckets are unmarked and you have no other tools. How do you measure out exactly one gallon of water?
1. Fill 13 gallon bucket and pour into 18 gallon bucket
2. Fill 13 gallon bucket again and pour into 18 gallon bucket till full
There is now 8 gallons left in 13 gallon bucket. Empty 18 gallon bucket.
3. Dump the 8 gallons of water into 18 gallon bucket
4. Fill 13 gallon bucket and pour into 18 gallon bucket till full
There is now 3 gallons left in 13 gallon bucket. Empty 18 gallon bucket.
5. Dump the 3 gallons of water in 18 gallon bucket
6.Fill 13 gallon bucket and pour all in 18 gallon bucket
The 13 gallon bucket is now empty and there is 16 gallons of water in 18 gallon bucket.
7. Fill 13 gallon bucket again and pour into 18 gallon bucket till full
There is now 11 gallons of water in 13 gallon bucket. Empty 18 gallon bucket.
8. Dump the 11 gallons in 18 gallon bucket
9. Fill 13 gallon bucket and pour into 18 gallon bucket till full
There is now 6 gallons in 13 gallon bucket. Empty 18 gallon bucket.
10. Dump 6 gallons into 18 gallon bucket
11. Fill 13 gallon bucket and pour into 18 gallon bucket till full.
You are left with 1 gallon of water in the 13 gallon bucket.
I have a 10 gallon rubbermaid cooler that I want to turn into mash tun. My goal is to make the switch from extract home brewing to all grain. I have a 5 gallon glass carboy, 5 gallon plastic fermenter, 5 gallon plastic bottling bucket, siphons, and all the other little stuff. What would be the easiest and CHEAPEST way to switch to all-grain ?? Thanks
Here’s an easy way to convert your 10G cooler into an MLT…

You have 2 buckets; one holds exactly 5 gallons and the other 3 gallons. How can you measure 4 gallons of water into the 5 gallon bucket? (Assume you have an unlimited Supply of water and that there are no measurement markings in any kind on the buckets).
Fill five gallon bucket. Pour water from five gallon bucket into three gallon bucket until three gallon bucket is full. This leaves two gallons in the five gallon bucket. Empty three gallon bucket. Pour the two gallons from the five into the three gallon bucket. Fill five gallon bucket. Use water from five gallon bucket to fill the remaining gallon of space in the three gallon bucket. Voila, four gallons.
i just bought a 10 gallon tank and i was wondering how much gravel is need for 10 gallons. Also i bought 3 femalesand 1 male gouramis, and i want to breed them, what plant do i need? please someone answer my question
I prefer approx. one lb. of rock per one gallon of tank. So 10 to 12 lbs. of a dark natural colored gravel will do fine in a 10 gallon tank.
Gouramis prefer a densely planted tank with a cover of floating plants along with some driftwood and a dark substrate.
Some plants to try:
java ferns attached to driftwood
small cryptocoryne wendtii
duckweed as floating cover
I need to replace my water heater. It’s a 48 gallon water heater. I can only find 40 and 50 gallon water heaters. I’m one person in a 1200 square foot house. Is it okay to replace with a 40 gallon? I can’t sell the house anytime soon so I’m not worried about a future owner.
A 40 gallon generally should be plenty for a family of 4 so for 1 it should be plenty.
The 48 was supposed to be an energy saver , what a joke there, it takes the same amount of heat to heat the water.
All I want is the 75 gallon all glass aquarium and lighted hood, no extras. I want these both to be new. Also I would like to know the price of a 75 gallon acrylic aquarium. What about plexi glass. How much for the aquarium and how much for the hood?
I just want a base price. I can negotiate with fish shop owners, how low can I negotiate. How much are they at petco? I know petco has a $1 a gallon sale up to 55 gallons.
Also could you give me the dimesions of a standard 55 gallon and a standard 75 gallon.
my 55 gallon is 4 feet in length, 12 inches wide, and 20 inch high
my 75 is a corner tank so i dont have the specs on that.
Anyway lets go back to question. All glass is cheaper than acrylic, Im not sure if you know the difference, but heres alitle bit about it.
Acryilic is light, but gets damaged more easily. It is more expensive as well. Where glass is heavier, and less easily scratched.
My hood for my 55 gallon was a 100 dollars by itself. I did buy my 55 gallon new, with a double stand for 88 dollars from my lfs.
So that is just a general price range. For a brand new 75 with a hood you can expect the ball park number of 170-200, the hood being the most expensive part.
How much does a gallon of whole milk cost at a Safeway supermarket in California? Thank you.
According to safeway.com here in the north bay of CA, Lucerne brand whole milk is $4.89 a gallon. A gallon of organic whole milk is $7.69.
There are currently two eldery fish in the thirty gallon. I will transfer them to the ten gallon. The thirty gallon has a filter rated for 10 to 30 gallon tanks and if possible I would like to reuse it for the ten gallon.
Don’t make it more complicated then it is – with a transfer like this it’s so easy.
1, fill the 10 gallon with 75% water from the old tank. Top it off with 25% new water (25% water change).
2. Move the fish and filter to the new tank.
Case closed. The fish have moved, the bacteria has moved and you continue as normal. You can move the gravel if you wish – it’s optional since most of the bacteria resides in the filter (where water is pulled through at a much higher rate).
I was curious how much a gallon of jet fuel cost and how many gallons an average jet holds?
That’s a pretty wide open question. Jet fuel in the US retails for between $5 and $8 a gallon in most places. That’s for private jets. Airlines use their size and volume purchasing power to negotiate lower rates directly from the fuel providers. I can’t give you an accurate estimate of what those costs are… My best guess is about $3-4 a gallon.
As for how much the “average jet” holds, that varies vastly by type. Small business jets hold around 700 gallons. Small regional jets hold around 2,100 to 2,500 gallons. The largest airliners can carry about 64,000 gallons.
