First measure the height of the aquarium, and the diameter of the aquarium in inches. Remember to account for the thickness of the glass, and the trim. Now divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius(r), and then multiply the radius by itself. Multiply that by the height(h) in inches, and multiply the whole thing by pi (3.14). This will give you cubic inches, now multiply that by 0.004329 to convert the answer to US gallons. In summary:

Volume in gallons = (pi*r2*h)(0.004329)

How can a volume of water be deteremined?

The easy way: Pour the water into a graduated container, like a graduated cylinder, and read the volume directly. The hard way: Calculate the volume of a regularly shaped container (cylindrical or rectangular). Pour the water into the container. Measure the height of the water in the container. Calculate the volume of the unfilled portion of the container. Subtract this volume from the total volume of the container.
