Aquarium Calculators?

Anyone know of any sites that have on-line calculators to determine both liquid volume and weight when full for Aquariums?
Answers:
Yeah there are a few sites out there, but I like this one the best. It gives you both capacity and weight when full, but this will only measure in inches.

everyone uses the same standards when making aquariums, if you will give us the dimensions, we can tell you the capacity
Length X Breadth X Height (Cms) divided by 1,000 gives you capacity of the tank in litres.

1 litre = 1 Kg or 8.3 pounds per gallon.
Capacities of common tanks
18x10x10 = 30 litres or 6 gallons. with gravel and other accessories weighs nearly 60 Kgs.
24x12x12 = 60 litres or 11 gallons. (85 to 90 kgs)
24x12x15 = 72 litres or 15 gallons. 110 to 120 kgs).

Never try and move a tank with water inside it will break.
