180 bow front tank?

Would a 180 bow front AGA make a good reef tank?

I like the bowfronts for fish only tanks.

Lighting a bowfront tank is interesting to say the least due to the bow in the middle.

bow fronts add a bit of distortion, so for crazy macro shooters, it might be annoying, though on my last M-Tank that was bowfront, I actually got some different angles on corals in the middle

Before I knew as much as I know now, I almost bought a 155 bowfront. The deal fell through thanks to Ebay.

Now that I have a 180 (2 feet wide all the way across), I realize that having the extra width to work with all the way across is great. Additionally, if you want a nice canopy to hide MH lighting with a bowfront it will be a custom job and pretty expensive. Back when I was going to buy, the stock canopies weren't tall enough for MH lighting.

Best of luck,

I owned a 54 corner bow front. Worst veiwing tank I ever owned. Don't do it, you'll get a head ache later trying to view it
