Sideways.
Haha oops!
It's a corner tank but it looks terrible as a corner tank.
I want to have it the way it's in the picture because it looks something like a half hexagon and something a little unique. I agree that would be the easy way out but I can imagine this being a really nice tank with some love and attention
It holds water
The guy I bought it from told me he used to have some African fish in it. (I didn't understand exactly because my Polish isn't so good)

Thanks, I know
I put a few towels down, filled it and left it for about 20 minutes and everything was good, but I'm thinking of resealing it because some of the silicone at the top is looking a bit "old".Thanks i actually got 1 result when I searched trapezium

No offense to anyone but if you guys paid attention in middle school you would know this is called a trapezoid.. GEESH
I owned a couple of those back in the day when those and hexagon tanks were all the rage. Then came pentagon, half moon, rimless, Starfire etc.
It's called a flat back hexagon tank.
Good luck figuring out how to make a stand for it. I can't even do rectangular ones so can't imagine how you'll build that but I'm always amazed by people's ingenuity.

It's close but not actually a hexagon tank because it has 4 sides.
However I want to build the stand so it has walls at the side behind it so it looks like a flat back hexagon

Hmmm...had to tilt my head sideways and look at it again closely. I assumed it was a flat back hex but this one's odd. Never seen anything like it. Haha
Yea it's actually a corner tank but I spun it around.

Eh, I said that in my original post
Oh i thought you said trapezoid and 5 other names going which one is it... Because you didnt know..
Nice try though
I know the shape of it is a trapezoid but I can't seem to find many tanks the same shape

Probably Cichlids.
The tank stand wouldn't be too hard to build, would just take some angle cuts in the frame and top.
Yea I just understood "african" and "beef heart" so probably cichlids haha
I hope so, I've never built one before but it looks pretty simple. I just want it to be strong and have decent accessibility to the sump.
