Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate triangle fish tank volume?
Enter the two base lengths and the height. The volume is half of length times width times height.
What shape is a triangle fish tank?

How do I get the result in gallons?
Switch the result unit to US or UK gallons after entering your dimensions.
Why is the volume halved?
A triangle is half of a rectangle with the same base and height, so the box volume is halved.
