Oceanic 1/2 circle Tank ?

[bobdawg]

I have been shopping for a new tank and came across the Oceanic 1/2 circle tank. I liked this tank so i shopped around till i found a store that had one filled with water and on display. I don't know if it was just the lighting, ( they only had a single strip light in it ) but everything in the tank looked magnified, the fish rock, plants. Does anyone out there own one of these, or have an opinion i would like to here from you. I am looking for something other than a rectangled one.

I had a corner tank and it is basically round and every thing looked distorted, I wouldnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t do a bow front because of that and those wave tanks, one side every thing looks big,, and the other side everything looks small, what were they thinking?

I bought an Oceanic half-circle tank a few weeks ago becuase it fits a spot in my home perfectly. Center of a wall in a high traffic area, but the tank is easy to walk around. It's height offers great viewing potential.

Still in the process of setting it up. I'm a little worried that the height and shape will make it difficult to stack rock with a natural look, and there probably won't be too much room for sand in the front. Not an over-abundance of room underneith the tank, either. Also worried about the flow pattern for the Tunze 6000s I have ordered. Also, there is considerable glare on the tank during the day due to windows on both sides of the room.

Still, great tank. Can't wait to get it running.

I have a 92 corner tank with cichlids in another room that looks great, no distortion.

If anyone has pictures of a half-circle tank completed, I'd love to seem them.

I'd also like to see some pics from someone who has one set up. Because like i said the one in the LFS seemed to magnify everything and i am not sure if M H lighting would help cure this a little or make it worse. I could definently make a nice show tank out of this but i can't purchase it just yet till i get more info. So let me know when you set yours up .
Thanks Bob
