how many gallons is my bow tank

[RATEDRSUPERFAN]

I bought this aquarium at a yard sale and are trying to figure out how many gallons it is .

The dimensions are 36 inches long by 21 high and 12 inches wide to the the start of the bow a the bow is 3 inches total so 15 wide.

[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]This gives you the total cubic inches (cu. in.).

[FONT=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]Divide that figure by the following factor to get gallons:[/FONT]​

Sounds like a 46 though, since you probably don't want to do any math

Yeah 46 sounds right

Cool 46 gallon, what fish can i use it for.

All depends on what kind/amount of filtration.

i have an Aqueon 55 on it

 

[Redearsunfish]

Never used them.

Personally, i'd have to mid to upper-mid sized HOBs and a fair sized canister.

Definitely a 46G. Its the same size as mine...Put a FX5 on it and you can over stock it with a lot of cichlids.
