Calculating a double bowfront gallonage

[Lucas&kim]

Tank is 94"L×42.5" at the widest point, 35" tall 17.5" at both ends. I used a regular bowfront calculator and came up over 450gals. The glass does seem to have a bigger bend in the bow though. Not sure if that may affect it.

Cut the tank in half length wise (for the math, not actually), so you come out with two bowfronts. Then calculate and multiply by two.

That's what u did. I just wanted to make sure that it would be accurate. Came to 460gal

Meant to say that's what I did to calculate

I'd assume that that calculation is correct.

If the tanks empty, add an amount of water, say 20g see how deep the water is measure the height of the tank and do the calculation.

That works too.

Do you not know because you made it yourself?

∫∫√3*π*L*W*H*sinθ dH dθ

I bought it from a laundry's seafood resturant after they did a renovation. No one knew the size. It also didn't come with a stand. I custom build a metal stand. I found the tank posted for sale with only the demensions.
