Bowfronts

[tebstan]

You can count mine as a +

...because I would buy a bowfront for a display tank. I would be careful about a used one....but definitely a new one. I would love to have a large one in the wall. Honestly, I go for aesthetics first and deal with the rest later... that has gotten me in trouble a few times though.

Good points.

Years ago... hmm, maybe 6 or 8... the bow fronts got a bad reputation. They were busting at the seams and the frequent leaky reviews still stick in some people's memories. They haven't had that problem in recent years, though. So new is good, used is sketchy.

Aesthetics is what it's all about. If you like the curved glass, go for it. It can look really sharp.


Edit... okay maybe it was more like 8 or 10 years ago... I'm getting old.
