Select the tank shape and enter aquarium dimensions to find your tank’s water volume.
Aquariums are available in various shapes, every requiring particular extent formulation for particular calculation.
See the following tank extent formulation :
Rectangular = Height * Width * Length
For a regular hexagon, each side is of the same length. So we have: Volume = ((3*√3)/2) * Front Width² * Height
Volume = (((((3*√3)/2) * front width²)/2) + (side * length)) * height
Volume = (2 * (front width²) * (1+√2)) * height
Cylinder = π * (Diameter / 2)^2 * Height
Half_Cylinder = π * (Diameter / 2)^2* Height / 2
Quarter_Cylinder = π * Radius² * Height / 4
We recommend you use the radius of the shape in order to make the computations faster and easier.
Diameter = 2 * Radius
Bowfront = Height * Width * Length + 0.5 * r^2 * (α - sin(α)) * Height Where:
Volume = ((Length 1 * Width 1) + ((Length 2 – Width 1) * Width 2)) * Height
Volume³ = ? * radius 1 * radius 2 * height
Volume = ((Length 1 * Length 2)/2) * Height
Use the above-stated formulas to determine your fish tank's extent and verify the effects of your calculations with the assist of our aquarium Calculator.

The producers frequently mention the volume of each aquarium to easily estimate the specified volume of water to fill the tank. If it's not written, then you can situation the aquarium calculator to perform the correct calculation. it's far equipped with the respective extent formulation for numerous aquarium shapes.
yes, each form has a distinct volume method. as an example, the formulation of a square form depends at the period, width, and height, while a dice system relies on its duration.
The sizeable drawbacks encompass the fast prevalence of issues due to the small length of the fish tank. due to the restrained water extent speedy temperature modifications can appear, affecting the general health of the fish.
