What do you refer to a tank that is viewable from all angles?

[jhuntington12]

Looking for some manufacturers of tanks that would be viewable from all angles. I guess what I mean is that it would be a centerpiece, walk around from all sides, where overflows dont dominate one particular side of the tank.

Is there such a term for these kind of tanks? Essentially I am looking to get a new unit and am looking for ideas, but not sure of the right term to call it. The stand would be identical from all sides, nothing exposed. I think square is probably the best for this application, but I am not opposed to rectangular either. Anyone know of a manufacturer or is this something particularly custom?

Thank you.

You mean like a center overflow?

i believe a 4 side viewable is called an "island"

You are looking for a custom-built tank. Best to look for someone close to you to keep freight costs down.

Sort of like having the back covered...

Just feel it gives the fish a place to hide...

Kind of that living in a fish tank thing...

Anyway...

Just had our frag tank built by A.G.E.

Really impressed with them. Even went up to Dallas to pick up the tank and look around their building. Top class stuff.

They'll pretty much build anything you want. LFS has a tank from them with a center overflow. I think it's a 72x24x16" frag tank.

Will be doing our next display with them as well. Basically said their biggest starphire tank would be 144x48x48"

Island tank. The only "off the shelf" manufacturer I know of is ZeroEdge.

Here's one of my favorite displays! I think this is what you are referring to. Some nice eye candy as well as ideas.
