Before it goes in
- Juwel Lido 120 is 61 × 41 × 58 cm (24 × 16.1 × 22.8 in) — rated at 120 L (32 gal), and roughly 120 L (32 gal) of actual water once a 6 cm substrate layer and the hardscape are in.
- That layer takes about 15 L of substrate, which is what you order by.
- 131 of the 160 animals in this library list a minimum tank at or under 120 L (32 gal). The biggest of them that still fit are Pearl Gourami and Congo Tetra. Electric Blue Acara and Angelfish need more than this.
- The water sits about 52 cm (20.5 in) deep over the substrate. Plants that get taller than that — Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis' and Cabomba — reach the surface and start growing along it, which is a look you either want or trim.
- Its footprint is 61 × 41 cm, and that is the area a carpet has to cover — the number that decides how many pots you buy, not the volume.
