Im think about buying this fish tank and I was wondering how I can confirm that the size they told me is correct? They said the the aquarium is 125g. I just want to make sure though.

These are the measurements they gave me.
25" tall~~34 1/2" depth~~54" view of curve from face Window

125g is about right.

gallons are 3/4's of the volume in cubic feet with a zero added.

rough measurement 1/4 6' dia circle2 2 foot tall. 6*3 (pi)/4=4.5*2 (ft tall) =9.0 *3/4 ~6.8*2=13.6g. move decimal 136g and that is a very very very rough ball park numbers. LOL

I tried using that website earlier and was a little confused using it. Rectangular tanks are so much easier to measure lol

A cylinder's volume is Pi*(R^2)*h. Your tank is 1/4 of a cylinder, so (Pi*(R^2)*h)/4)
