4ftx2ftx2ft ~ 120cm x 60cm x 60cm /1000 = 432L. Of water.
For 4ftx1.54ftx1.5ft ~ 120cm x 45cm x 45cm /1000
= 243L .
This assume you fill the water till the top tip and no substrate and deco (blank Tank).
Yes. It is recommend your filter to have 6X FLOW cycle of your total tank water volume.

Hello...

My tank is 60 x 29 x 33
And my filter Ocean Free brand says it can process 650 liters / hour.

Should be okay right?

kevin, it will be just nice actually. but to be honest, the price u r going to pay for the eheim might be a little high. last i recall is about rm1500 for the unit. but it depends on how deep your pockets are smile.gif in comparison, the taiyo china filters i'm using are about rm120-150 each.... of course the media cannot beat eheim la...

i believe most aquarist here are using at least 2 filters on their 4ft tanks. you can then put the filter on either side. or one on each side. this is to make sure the water movement is equal everywhere in the tank. smile.gif

to keep thing simple just run double eheim 2217...i think its cheaper than 1500xl
plus with two filters, u can clean it one at a time

read the flow rate rating.
big size is good for bio media housing.
