Bow-front tanks
Hi, i have a question in regards to large Bow-front tanks. I currently own a standard 150 tank. It`s ok, but just does not cut it. From what i understand so far, the largest Bow-front tank is 155Gal. I would go with this in a reef ready version, however, i`d like to know if there is a vendor that sells a larger Bow-front than 155Gals??. I`d love to get a larger tank. If not, that`s ok but, as for the stand, if it was for either the 155 or larger i need it made to fit a specific height in Pine or Oak, preferably Pine. Is there a vendor somewhere that can accomidate me with this?
Thanks Tony |

Not cheap, but I know Deltec do bow fronts to at least 350 gals.

Check out this site: 4fishtank dot com. They manufacture tank/stand/canopy in China. Since their wharehouse is in NY you may even go there to inspect their product.
I bought one of their 118g half circle tank setup. There method of shipping was very bad, plumbing parts are Chinese (International?) standard. Otherwise you have so many style to choose from and price should be cheaper. |

I've seen a double bow by Oceanic in the 500 gallon range. I'm sure it was big bucks however. Might want to contact them.

Although I personally like bowfronts very much, I decided to go with the standard rectangular tank. There is a hugh price difference.
