They're measured in gallons in the US, and liters everywhere else.
This holds true no matter how big the tank is--the New England Aquarium in Boston has a tank they describe as holding one million gallons of water.

If you found a rock and you want to measure its volume what would you do to measure the rock volume?
Use water displacement. Measure water before you put the rock in it, and then again afterwards. Put a measuring cup large enough to hold the rock in a pot large enough to hold the measuring cup and fill the measuring cup to the very top with water. Lower the rock into the measuring cup carefully so that the water flows over and into the pot. Carefully remove the measuring cup with the rock without spilling any additional water into the pot. When you measure the water in the pot it will equal to the volume of the rock (accuracy will depend on how careful you were). This is displacement measuring.
