How would I figure out the exact number of gallons my aquarium holds, its a bowfront.
 
Geometrically, it'd be complicated. You'd probably be best off calculating the WxLxH volume of your flat sides and compare that volume to the bowfronts that particular manufacturer offers. Yours will be the bowfront that's the next volume up from your calculations.

Or you can fill it using a 1g jug and count the number of fills needed.
 
really a estimate is all you need i think. there isnt a ton of different bow front sizes that i know of.
