150 Vs. 175bow

[fish1031]

What are your thoughts?

 

[reefiness]

depends on what you think... although i would go with the bow.

I like bow front tanks, they are a little harder to build from a fabrication standpoint but they look great.

How much more money are we talking instead of a 150g?

150....the distortion of bows, and you add no real swimming space for your animals...

I completely agree!

Plus the bow makes them really hard to clean. Scrapers and mag floats don't work very well at all.
You need to reach in and scrape from side to side or use a handheld pad.

We have a 155 bow and it is a beauty. We don't find it hard to claen with the magfloat. You may have to turn it a couple of times to find the right fit, but gets the tank clean. Ours has the dual overflows in both back corners!

I love my bow. I have no issue ussing the Mag float. I use the distortion to get a better look at things since many things become magnified.

I love my 175 Bow... No real distortion. Give's the tank a more 3D feel. Now, I'm looking for a 300+ My fish are getting to big!
