    I have a 100 gal corner pentagon tank that I want to build a canopy. My primary concern is all the akward angles. Anyone know of a link for these tanks or a good way to measure the angles? Should I break out the protractor?

    BTW, If you couldn't already tell, I'm not a carpenter!

    This pages describes how to calculate the angles of both regular & irregular pentagons (see Addendum #1).
