Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

More information is needed for a viable answer but IF this 540 gallons is in a flat bottom tank, the bottom is level and the walls are vertical (a lot of if's), you need to know the depth of the water in the tank.

There are 7.4805 gallons in a cubic foot (ft^3), so 540 gallons / 7.4805 = 72.188 cubic feet. Square feet can be determined by dividing cubic feet by the depth, so if the depth is 3 feet:

72.188 ft^3 / 3' = 24.06 square feet
