Afternoon all,
Anyone have an idea if any such tank exists in a reef ready form. Something in the 75 gallon range + or - ?
Appreciate any knowledge that can be provided.
Thanks.

As in a double wave, or the "canoe style", where both long sides are bowed? Oceanic makes the canoe double bow, it's a custom addition. They no longer make the 72 bowfront (which is what would have to be used for the custom double bow) because All Glass makes it. Since AGA & Oceanic are owned by Central Pet, it became redundant. Not positive what the final gallons would be for a 72 made into a custom double bow. The canoe double bow would be made with a custom end overflow.
Perfecto makes a 95 gal wave front tank, if that's the double bow you mean. Pretty sure but not 100% positive it comes with the RR option.
Hope that helps.

Yes, it would be a canoe type shape. So these two tank suppliers would be the best options ?
Appreciare the help.

Oceanic is the only manufacturer of the double bow that I am aware of, although I'm sure there are some independents out there that can make them. I'm sure a few of the acrylic tank guys can make one also.
I've seen the double bow made from the 175, quite impressive. All the custom tanks we've order have been through Oceanic, with great results, so that's who I'd recommend. They list a double bow up t0 440 gallons, which would be sweet if you had the $$$.
