New tank not sure how many gallons

[jboone82590]

I just got a new tank and the guy I got it from said it's a 75 gallon tank but I don't think it is I think it's about 60 or so but not sure.
I did the calculations for it and got 72 if it was square but it's a bow front corner
The L=27 W=27 H=23
And it has a bow front.
So does anyone know about how big it is?

It's just like horsepower and torque it's rounded up. As well with a bow front a straight length across won't be a accurate measurement. It's 75 gallons but realistically probably 73.6 or some ****.

Ok so u think it is about 75 or so?

This calculator will give you gallons in a bow front.

Standard bow sizes are 36g 46g and 72g most of the time.

Ignoring the bow, it about 72.5 (27x27x23)/231.
So yea - its about 75...
