Looking for good corner tank threads

After browsing around for an hour or so, I cannot find any good threads on corner tank projects. Anyone know of any?

thanks.

Hey, just start one. I have a 54 corner bow, 2 opposed sea swirls, basement sump [overcame the wedge stand, which now holds only things like ballasts.]
I like my arrangement. It fits a corner between two doors. I could go 90, but the 54 is good, and I can still reach the sand without taking off the false canopy. WIth a 90, I'd need to take off my shirt and get a scuba mask.
What do you want to know? Pyramidical rock stacks work well.

It's not good to let the rock reach the walls: this tank is mostly walls, so clean is a good idea. Enough room for the float.

If you get a fish in the overflow, the best thing to do is hope he finds his way to the sump. Or use needlepoint plastic canvas to create screens over the downflow.

Sea Swirls make lps very happy in this tank. A lot of chaotic flow as current bounces off the walls.
