I have a 55g corner bow front tank... I absolutely love my tank... But I only find one draw back to have an odd shaped tank. Finding the right lights to fit right was a little pain to me. My wife actually just bought me a 36" T5 setup with 4 bulbs that are working fine. My stand is lacking a place to hide a sump so I am using a canister filter on it with a skimmer hanging on the back of the tank. I just started up my tank about 3-4 months ago so it's still a work in progress. I love the way that mine fits in the corner and bows out... It seems to save room and like Mr. Cob said there is not much distortion when looking straight on. And mine is glass and I have had no problems with scratches or whatnot... Purchased mine at a petsmart (didn't know any better at the time) about 6 years ago, and it's been a great investment... Good luck to you...
