Introduction

Aquariums come in different shapes and sizes, and it's important to determine the correct volume of your aquarium in order to ensure that you have the right size equipment and the right amount of water and chemicals to keep your fish and other aquatic creatures healthy. To calculate the volume of an aquarium, you need to take into account its shape, dimensions, and any features such as filters or other equipment that take up space inside the tank.

Calculating the volume of an aquarium can be a difficult task, especially if you have an irregularly shaped tank. That's where our Aquarium Volume Calculator comes in! Our tool takes the hassle out of the equation, giving you accurate and precise results in a matter of seconds.

With our calculator, you can input the dimensions of your aquarium, whether it's a standard rectangular shape or a more unique hexagonal or bow front design, and our tool will do the rest. The results are not only quick but also highly accurate, ensuring that you get the best results for your aquarium setup. The tools is built to serve the most novice of users. The required inputs are designed with ease of use in mind. So you never need to calculate complex measurements like the radius of a Cylinder etc, where the chances of error are much higher.

Whether you're setting up a brand new tank, or need to make sure that your current setup has enough water for your fish and plants, our Aquarium Volume Calculator is the perfect tool for you. With its easy-to-use interface and accurate results, it's the best choice for aquarium enthusiasts everywhere.

How to use it

Our calculator is powerful enough to serve the widest of use cases. All you have to do is select the appropriate shape and input all the required values and instantly you will have the results. optionally you can provide the fill volume as a percentage of the total tank volume, and you will get the fill volume and height as the results.

In our calculator, some tanks allow you to select the field to calculate. This means if you know the volume and some of the other inputs, you can calculate the missing input. For example, In cuboid shaped tank, if you want to calculate the length and you know the volume, width, and height, you can provide the available inputs and click on the length field and it will give the results in the input section itself.

What we support

Cube shaped tank

A cube shaped aquarium is a simple rectangular shaped tank that is equally wide, long, and tall. It is the most common shape of aquariums that can be found in the market. Our calculator supports cube shaped aquariums and calculates the volume by multiplying the length, three times

A cube has six equal square faces. To calculate the volume of a cube, you simply need to know the length of one of its sides. The formula is:

💡
cube = length³

Rectangle (Cuboid) shaped tank

A rectangle shaped aquarium is also known as a cuboid. It is similar to a cube but is elongated in one dimension. The volume of this type of aquarium can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.

To calculate its volume, you'll need to know all three dimensions. The formula is:

💡
rectangular = height × width × length

Cylindrical Tank

A cylinder shaped aquarium is the most popular type of aquarium. It is round and has a uniform height. A cylinder is a three-dimensional object that has two parallel circular bases and a curved surface connecting them. To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you need to know its height and diameter. Our calculator makes it easy for you to calculate the volume of your cylinder-shaped aquarium by only requiring the diameter, as the radius can be easily calculated from it. The formula is:

💡
cylinder = π × (diameter / 2)² × height

Flat back cylinder (Half cylinder) shaped tank

A flat back cylinder is a half cylinder shaped aquarium that is flat on one side and curved on the other. It is perfect for placement against a wall and takes up less space. To calculate the volume of a flat back cylinder, you need to know its height and diameter. The formula is:

💡
half cylinder = π × (diameter / 2)² × height / 2

Corner cylinder (Quarter cylinder) tank

A corner cylinder is also known as a quarter cylinder. It is a cylinder shaped aquarium that is placed in the corner of a room. The volume of a corner cylinder can be calculated by inputting the radius and height. The formula is:

💡
quarter cylinder = π × radius² × height / 4

Triangular prism tank (Placed at the center)

A triangular prism is an aquarium with a triangular base that can be placed at the middle of a room or hallway. Our calculator supports asymmetrical triangular prisms and calculates the volume by inputting the three sides of the triangle. a, b and c are each sides of the triangular portion

💡
Triangular Prism = height * 0.25 * √( (a + b + c) * (-a + b + c) * (a - b + c) * (a + b - c) )

Corner Triangular Prism (Right angled triangle base)

A corner triangular prism is a triangular prism shaped aquarium that is placed in the corner of a room. The base of this type of aquarium is a right angled triangle and the volume can be calculated by inputting two sides of the triangle along with the height.

💡
Corner Triangular Prism = 0.5 × length × width × height

Bow front (Curved Rectangular) tank

A bow front aquarium is a unique type of aquarium that is curved on the front and flat on the back. This type of aquarium is perfect for creating a focal point in a room. To calculate the volume of a bow front aquarium, you'll need to know its height, length, and width, as well as the radius of its curved front. The formula is complex and involves the use of trigonometry. In our calculator, the volume of a bow front aquarium can be calculated by inputting the length, width of the side, width of the center and, height.

💡
bowfront = height × width × length + 0.5 × r² × (α - sin(α)) × height

α is the central angle of the circular segment, in radians,

r is a radius of a circle. You can calculate the angle α with α = 2π - 4β, where β is an angle expressed as:

💡
tan(β) = 0.5 × length / (full_width - width)

Corner pentagon shaped tank

A corner pentagon is a pentagon shaped aquarium that is placed in the corner of a room. The volume of a corner pentagon can be calculated by inputting the length, side length and height.

Hexagon shaped (Hexagonal) tank

A hexagon shaped aquarium is a six-sided aquarium that has a uniform height. The volume of a hexagon shaped aquarium can be calculated by inputting the width and height of a single panel of the tank.

Flat back hexagon (Supports different sized front panel)

A flat back hexagon is a hexagon shaped aquarium that is flat on one side and hexagonal on the other. Our calculator supports different sized front panels and calculates the volume by inputting the dimensions.

L-Shaped tank

An L-shaped tank is a unique type of aquarium that is shaped like the letter L. This type of aquarium is perfect for placing in a corner and provides ample space for aquatic life. The volume of an L-shaped tank can be calculated by inputting the length, width, and height of each part of the L.

Fish Bowl (Spherical tank)

A fish bowl is a unique type of aquarium that is spherical in shape. It is perfect for keeping small fish or for use as a decoration. Our calculator makes it easy to calculate the volume of a fish bowl by inputting the widest diameter, top opening diameter, and height.
