I have always really liked corner bowfront tanks. I picked this up from Sharkboy yesterday (thanks Art!)
Ill be setting this up at my parents house in SA. The house has a weird v-shaped nook as you walk in, and viola! I always knew it was a corner bowfront nook! :D

I still need to paint the back of the tank black and clean it up a little.
Lighting will most likely be my 150w Sunpod
Flow will come from the return and a Vortech MP20

More pics to come...

Man that was made for that tank! Nice! You should hang a fixture off of the ceiling, where that light is

Yeah, it's weird. We had the house built, and nowhere in the plans did they have this "nook". Weird to say the least, but I say it's fate :)

I'm just finishing the sump now, I test fit it under that stand and it fits perfectly.
I bought the 10g tank and sheet of acrylic and cut the baffles.
I'm not going to lie, it's probably the ugliest sump that I've seen, so I'm not going to post a pic of it :D
