Quarter Round Tank

I'm finally getting back into the hobby and have a question for those with experience...

Generally, I'm looking to get a 90+ gallon 1/4 round aquarium for to sit the corner of my room. This tank will contain corals plus fish. What are the pros/cons of the 1/4 round besides being more expensive and harder to find? Any ideas on lighting? (I am thinking of 4 -- 24" T-5's.
My last quick question is about the manufacturers. I've only seen the 1/4 round from AGA and Aquavim. I've never had a problem with the All Glass with my previous tanks and I don't have any experience with Aquavim.

Thanks.

Jeff

In Europe you can get a Juwel (german made) Trigon series...

One of the problems with that style of tank is that the stands have a very small space for a refugium/sump setup. You'll probably have to custom make one.

Aquascaping can be a challenge, too. Flow will be different, and might be harder to figure out.

I have a 54g corner tank sitting in the garage, but I don't really have any free corners in my house to put it up.
