Quarter cylinder tank dimensions??

[tylerlee]

I'm looking into a custom quarter cylinder tank..also known as corner bow front. what would the dimensions be for a 400ish gallon? No idea how to calculate it. Im a newb.

(height x Pi x radius^2)/4

 

[CHOMPERS]

(height x Pi x radius^2)/4

to simplify that a little:

(height x 3.14 x radius x radius)/4


You must multiply the radius in twice. It is not the same as 2xRadius.

I've got an 85 corner bowfront that's 22" deep x 33" R.

You need to make the dimensions about 92,400 in^3

So, with a water depth of 22", you need a radius of: 73.15" or 12.2 feet in diameter.

12 feet? You hit the wrong button on your calculator somewhere. I came up with 74.16 inches or 6.18 feet.

btw, your 85g actually works out to be 79.19 gallons. If you measure the inside, it will be even less.
