Diamond shaped reef aquarium
 
Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could help me determine the size of a specific aquarium I am looking into buying. Any help would be greatly appeciated...
The dimensions are for a diamond style tank..

36x36x12x12x34 inches(diamond) and 23 inches high. Any help would be greatly appeciated!!! I need to act quickly!

i think you'll need to supply some angles as well.. just wall dimensions are not enough to figure this out... im working on a guess for you, but it will be just that, a guess.


My ballpark is about 100 gallons.. give or take 25 depending on the angles. its impossible to know for sure without them,

well for a diamond shape tank the angle is 22.5 "

That's if it's a 3pc front. But if it's a 2 pc front, and the back, the 36" pieces, what if they are not 90*? they should be, but...

Which angle is 22.5? the peak? i think this may need a sketch...

my bad theres 2 12" and a 34 across the front?

I thnk I got it, the 12" pcs are 90* to the 36", and the 34" is 45 across the front. Basically, a 36" cube, with a 24" angle section cut off front.

So my calculations equal approx 70 gal

Thanks for the quick replies everyone but it is around 100 gallons. Here is a pretty awesome link to a calculator that will calculate different styles of tanks..enjoy

I drew it up on Autocad and came up with 70g, so I would think that calculator is wrong

I get 100 gallons too using the 90 degree angle between the 12s and the 36s. im not sure where that 22.5 comes in but that would yield a totally different shape as none of these angles are 22.5

banditpowdercoat 02-10-2010 12:05 AM

Ya MY bad. I redid the calc and ya it's 100. Iforgot a step LMAO My bad
