Regular Member scriber Posted October 26, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2003 Ideally i'd want a 90g bow front or 120g rectangle, however no one makes a 90g bowfront(marineland makes one but its fitted with overflow tanks; and 3 times the price!), and the 120g rectangle is a big price jump...~150-200 dollars. So right now, i'm stuck between a 90g rectangle or a 72 bowfront. Are there any wierd optics considering the bowed front. I think bowfronts look aesthetically more pleasing, something thats unique and not just a supersize 10g tank. What are ur thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shiari Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 You'd have to find space for it... and make sure it's evenly supported, which can be easier with the "super-sized" rectangulars... but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Personally, I like the bow fronts better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gldfshkpr Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 It depends on the dimensions of the standard rectangle tank, but a bow-front might have more surface area. That's what I look for in a Goldfish tank. So called breeder tanks are an excellent alternative to the standard rectangle tanks. Given the same amount of water, go with the tank that offers the most surface area. You might have to whip out the old calculator to determine the difference in the bow v.s. the rectangle tank your looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Incandisco Posted October 26, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hmmm. For me, if you can find space to keep the larger tank, then I'd go for that and the 2 extra fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member scriber Posted October 27, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2003 The 72 would actually fit within the footprint of the 90. Picture a 90 with part of it cut out to make a curved front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
