Math was never my strong point, took algebra 3x to pass. I bought a performed pond on CL. It is round shape, 64 inches across 18 inches deep. How many gallons would that make ? Thank You

'Pie are square...cake are round"

About 80 gallons.
my type of math, I never had to repeat (yet), I got all A's, and that's from looking over the shoulder...
And barrowing a friends phone to get answers the next class period...
Etc etc etc.

That's only true if it's really a simple shape with 90 degree sides, no shelves, etc. The best way to know is to spend $10 on water meter and measure as you fill.

I built what I assumed was going to be a 3000 gallon pond and it metered out at about 2400 due to corners, wrong assumptions on average depth, etc.
