Pics requested: 46G Bowfront

Seriously considering 46g bowfront and looking forward to see pics of your 46g bowfront. Any setup info would be very helpful as well.
Thanks

I have had a 46g bowfront in the past, still have it empty in the garage. Its a cool tank to have setup, i liked the bowfront shape and its a pretty good size. Only problem i had was lighting for some reason, i had one 250w MH over it, and 2 2x65W pc's on it too and it just wasnt enough for some odd reason. But its definitley a fun tank to have. (dont have pics anymore because i took it down about 2 years ago.

A 46g bowfront was my fisrt tank. At first it was really cool but I soon learned that the bow gave me a headache while looking at the tank and it was hard to clean the front glass. Also it really limits you to rock work and equipment. I think you would be much happier with a 75g.

I just set one up and really do like it. It just finished its cycle. I'll post pics tomorrow, its set up at my office. Its going to be a horse/reef tank.

I chose the 46 gal as it was about as big as I thought I should go for the office....

Very nice. Oh, and welcome to Alabama. Perks include having your state at the very top of most scroll down lists (when you are ordering things).

I did see that. old state was hard to find.

Thanks guys for info. I have had big setups in the past but wanted to stick with smaller one right now. Seems like 46g will be a good setup and will look good. If you can please post few pics.
