What size is this Tank

[Gregsf66]

It is a corner Tank. The Flat sides are 24" long by 21" Tall

Any one have a calculator to take care of this problem

Please let me know I have searched everywhere.

Thx

Greg

only thing i can think of might be a 36 corner tank but let me double check at work tomorrow. cause we have one there and when combined it makes a half circle.

is it a bow front? if not just treat it as a cube and cut the volume in half,, or about 27 gals

just found this site so hope this helps

let me know if it works
i'll mess with it myself

if i is a quarter cylindar, volume in cubic inches is (1/4)pi(24)^2*21 = 9500, then divide by 231 which gives 41 gallons. more than likely, the fron arc is not the shape of a 24" radius circle (probably less curved), so the volume would be less - somewhere between 41 and 27 (from mike's half of a cube calculation)

feel like you are back in geometry class yet? :lauging:

It's good to have folks like you around, Ace. We unedumakated people kaint cypher too well. LOL :lmao2::lmao2:

24 x 24 x 24 = 12096 cubic inches / 2 = 6048 cubic inches, convert to gallons = 26 gallons. If it is a bow front is will probably contain a couple of extra gallons.

I love google. It will do the 'cypers' for you if you type them in to the search...

Ace's equation has the portion that solves for the bow, (1/4)pi if I remember my math correctly.

[prof]

1/4 pi will only work if the bow is a 1/4 circle. Most bow fronts are only a small portion of a circle, not 1/4.

Ace has it right. The curve is probably closer to 1/16. My calculation figures half a 24x24x21 tank. (I mis-typed in my first post)

Of course Greg could be looking at a wave front tank or some strange concave tank. ;)

You could always take a 5 gallon bucket\jug and fill it up until it's full of water. Here is the fancy formula for figuring that out. (5gallons)(number of Bucket\Jug) :bigsmile:
