Need opinions on which tank to use. I just recently picked up a cheap 46 Bow, it's in decent condition but it has quite a few scratches on the bottom front of the tank but sand might cover some of them. I currently have an eclipse 29 running (not great I know). I am going to build a sump/fuge and canopy for either tank I decide on. I have just read bows create a blurred view when you look into them, is this true? I am going to have to build a new stand for the 46 if I decide to go with it so I need to choose wisely. The 46 also gives more room for a sump. What do you all think, I don't think the 46 will allow for any other livestock that the 29 will.

I currently have a 36 Bow. There are no blurred views that I have ever seen. Like you I recently got a great deal on a 46 gallon bow that I could not pass up. As far as your decision goes what you need to think about is long term. If it were me I would go with the 46. Good luck
