Do you know the brand? Going to the manufactures website may be the quickest route.

The corner tank you can use the formula: 1/4*pi*r^2*h/231

The rectangles you could compute the volume of the rectangle portion and then compare to available sizes.

The straight sides on a 92 corner are 34 inches. Below that there is a 54 corner and a 36 corner.
