Poll: Bowfront and Corner tank Leak

If you have bowfront or corner tank:

-> What size was your tank?
-> Who was the manufacturer of the tank?
-> How old was your tank?

Also would you recommend bowfront tank?

I've had my 92 gal corner for years along with a 54 gal corner sump. Never had a pronlem. The display was built by Oceanic and the sump is AGA.

My 54 gallon Oceanic corner is almost five years old. Never any problems - except wish I would have got the 92.

54 Oceanic - 12 years running, moved three times - no problems
Mine is drilled, makes for a really neat system.

The only problem I have is you are really limited for sump space

BTW - they now make a canopy for this tank - lightweight plastic to cover up all those funky lights you have

That's great. Do you have link or info on these canopies?

You can visit www.oceansystems.com and view their 54 black corner cabinet and canopy - they have links to stores that carry their products

I'm on my 2nd 72 bow, first one sprung a leak in bottom back corner. No problems so far with this one. I liked the bow, but I'm thinking of changing to rectangular due to the odd shape, things don't always fit quite right. Good luck....the look of the bow is very pretty.

Allglass 52 corner bow, no leaks, 6 months: that glass is about half an inch thick, so it's pretty solid.
