The volume in cubic inches is
.
Aquarium volumes are measured in gallons in the US.
I do not know how many cubic inches makes a gallon.
(I was born and educated in a metric country, and as a scientist, I just use the SI system of measures).
It does not matter whether the aquarium has a lid or not.
The volume that fits inside is the same.
If they asked me about the surface area of a box with those measurements,
I would ask if the surface area of the lid needed to be included in the calculations.
However, in every aquarium I've had the bottom and sides were made of glass while the lid was plastic and includes a light. No one would care to calculate total surface area including the lid.
