Not sure how the glue/rock dust is going to work even if I dry the contact points...I'll cross that bridge before I'm in scramble mode

That one I think is the model thats fully tempered. Then theres 2 models with corner overflows, and last 1 like that but not tempered. My issue is 24" depth is pushing the limit on space in the office. Without just building a massive desk so i can work next to the 80gal. My LFS fish and frag tanks are all seaporas, they have the same dimensions but shorter as a 60 gal as well.

Heres the entire line-up:

Yeah I got the one with just the 4 walls and no rim. Drilled just fine on the short side

Curious to know the groups thoughts on aquascapes. Do you all go for NSA, habitat, natural looking or non natural look.

I'm floating this idea in my head where in the center of the tank I want to put in "pillars" of rock in a cascading height with five in a semi circle. I'm thinking of putting a different color encrusting coral on each one to make a rainbow. Think of a xylophone look.

I'm thinking the aesthetic is interesting and my kiddo would like it, but also I was going to do a protected area in the center to lower flow for some inhabitants in the center and need rockwork to kind of pile sand in the center. I think I'm going to go for some garden eels.

I’ve tried everything, they’re all unique so whatever you choose just do it well and you’ll be happy

Reminds me of the 2000’s. So if you’re into nostalgia

harder to clean the glass due to curvature. Increased risk of blow out in my opinion. But I do like the extra depth.

 

[Ado]

Thanks for input! I'm torn on a decision. The used tank market near me is either its broken/leaks or decent but nearly new tank price...

I don't think bowfronts and good ones should should be in the same sentence unless "to pass on" is what follows it.

Man, that bad huh? All I see is rectangular styles, thought the bowfront was unique. I can see the more difficult maintenence aspect though

The curved glass can distort the view as well from certain angles. Straight ahead they don't look bad

^^^ This. We have a nano cube with a curved glass front and it does distort the views.
