This isn't 100% sure yet, but the odds are looking very good.

I think its more than 220gallons? But I dont know how to calculate the gallonage on that shape of tank
I just did the L (5ft ) x the width (5ft)x the height (1.3") and got 32.5, than i did
32.5 x 7.5 = 243.75

Easiest way to calculate the volume (assuming the 5 feet is accross the flats) is to split the hexagon into 12 equal triangles as shown below. Work out the area of one triangle, multiply it by 12 and multiply that by the height.
Area of triangle 1:
Angle at centre of hexagon = 360/12 = 30deg
Adjacent side = 5ft/2 = 2.5ft
Therefore opposite side = 2.5tan30 = 1.44ft
Area = (1.44x2.5)/2 = 1.8ft2
1.8x12 = 21.65ft2
Volume of full tank = 21.65 x (15/12) = 27ft3
Which in US gallons is 27 x 7.48 = 202.4 gallons max capacity
Hope that is helpful for you.
