Hey AC, hopefully someone here can shed a little light on this for me. Just brought a bow-front tank home that was given to me as a trade off for some electrical work I did. Anyway, the regular calculator doesn't seem to have a bow-front option. The dimensions are as follows;

Height- 19"
Length- 36"
Width- 12" on each side and bows out to 16" in the center

I'm guessing it's around 40 gallons?

Its 35.53 gallons if it were compeletely rectangular.

Calculator (http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/converter/volume-calculator.php)

EDIT: I averaged 12 and 16 to get 14 which gives a little over 41g.

Yeah thats exactly what I did and came up with the same, rounded down and lets just call it 40? Thanks for confirming I always like other people double checking my math, lol.
This is disheartening for me as I was told it was a 55gal. So now my plans of it replacing my current 55 are going to change. Right now I only have 4 baby Angels in it, 2 baby GBR's, and a baby pleco... Maybe I'll be taking my 120gal out of storage after all, D'oh!
