I've bought a new tank to replace my 120 gallon...there's a thread in GF to explain why...this new tank is smaller, around 80 gallons, but I'm very excited about the change. It's designed to be a room divider, with a square end to go against the wall and a curved end to stick out into the room. The stand looks the same on both sides with two-way cupboards. Very interesting, I thought, and very well suited to my new apartment. It's dividing my living room and kitchen. I've been setting it up all day, haven't moved the fish in yet as the BF is much better at rounding up 20 fish in a 4x2 foot area than I am, so I'm waiting for him to get home. The tank is still cloudy from the sand but I couldn't resist taking some photos to show you all how it looks.

The whole tank and stand, from the living room:

A very interesting tank design. I think having it viewed that way leaves no room for any error. Well done this is going to be some challange for you.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I like it a lot

My first tank was a 29g that sits on a half wall between our kitchen and living room. I like being able to see the tank from both sides, but it is a challenge for aquascaping and such.

Looking forward to more pics, congrats!

That would be Jo-Jo, LM . Really, when it comes down to it, I bought this tank for him. I was thinking of going SW, but there's no way I could have given him up.

Robby - the store only had this one as far as I could see, so I'm not sure what other sizes it comes in. But I don't see why they wouldn't make bigger ones (although, not many rooms are big enough to have a 6fter sticking out in the middle of the room!). The brand is Sun-Sun, it's an Asian brand.
