Billaney Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi Is there some formula for working out the size ( gallons or litres) of a corner triangular tank? its 65 cm by 65cm by 86cm with 3 x 20cm beveals to each corner. I think its about a 55 gallon/210l but I'm not sure and it sure would be handy to know for stocking and treating etc. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 1000 litres = 1 cubic meter Just work out the volume in cubic meters. Can't do it for you as I not sure what your dimensions are too or how there 3 bevels, is it a six sided tank? Cheers Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I'm not sure i can discribe it better than a triangle with the pointy corners cut off, and they leave a bevele that messures 20cm, i have a picture but its not hosted anywhere so i can't attach it to the post.

Luke* Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Maybe it would be easier to count the buckets of water you add? I suppose it's already full tho is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_from_nz Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 equation is the surface area (.5xbasexheight) times the depth of the tank so you need to give 4 measurements (three sides and the height of the tank) from there it is easy to calculate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 thank for the assistance , its just confuseing , i did find tank in the Paraparaumu pet shop that just had a bowed front but was about the same size, the guy in there said it was a 55 gallon tank so i'll just go with that :lol: guess it my fault for being differant and not getting a standard shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
