Corner Aquarium Volume Calculator

An aquarium volume calculator for a corner tank converts inner length, width, and water height to litres, US gallons, and UK gallons. Substrate litres use the footprint times gravel depth. Glass thickness is not subtracted; measure inside.

Quick Summary & Direct Answer
Home

How many litres is a corner aquarium?

A corner tank is modelled as a right triangle prism: 0.5 × length × width × height. Two 60 cm legs and 50 cm height are about 90 L.

Key Takeaways

  • Measure inside dimensions.
  • US gallon = litre / 3.785; UK gallon = litre / 4.546.
  • Substrate displaces water; fill height should be the water column.
  • Bowfront, cylinder, hexagon, and corner each have their own URL.

Results can be wrong. This calculator is unofficial. Figures can be incomplete, rounded, or not updated. Use them at your own risk and check a tape, datasheet, ball band, or official chart before cutting, mixing, buying, or publishing. Measure inside the glass. Hexagon length is point-to-point; a flat-to-flat measure will mis-size the tank. Bowfront extra is an ellipse, not the real curve. Limits of liability are in the terms of service.

Corner tanks as a right-triangle prism

Volume is ½ × leg × leg × height. Two 60 cm wall legs and 50 cm height are about 90 L. Bowed fronts are not this page; use bowfront.
