4 X 2.5 X 2.5 ft tank is approx 710 litres or 187 US Gal, excluding the sump.

Certain LFS have the service of delivering a truck of seawater to your house and pumping it directly into your tank. It would be a little harder if you're staying in a HDB but I know of ppl doing it. The LFS will figure something out.
