A toilet supply tank assembly (700) having high performance flush characteristics is designed to maximize water pressure over the flush valve and to minimize fluid turbulence within the tank during a flush cycle. The tank includes a bottom interior surface (702) which tapers downwardly from the outer edges thereof to a fluid escape opening (704). The flush valve plunger (709) incorporates an overflow/bowl refill tube (709D), which passes through the center of the plunger. The tank may also include at least three vertical partitions (708A-708D) intersecting a common axis (710) which not only provides a cage in which the flush valve plunger can slide up and down, but also prevents the water from swirling and forming an energy robbing vortex. The supply tank assembly may also include a vertical tube which connects the fluid escape opening with a base portion attachable to a toilet bowl.
