Would you ever consider a cylindrical tank?

[Gup]

If I had the proper place, I would certainly like a cylindrical Aquarium. I came close to buying a bow front, but I remembered my marine tank of 40-plus years ago, the cleaning of algae and such, I didn't want to take a chance with acrylic

Can’t think of a place I would ever put one. Peninsula tanks are functional for breaking up large spaces, but I truly don’t see a use for a round tank that wouldn’t take up more room than necessary and distort the view compared to a flat face.

Would be a pain to clean the glass

It would be a pain in the glass to clean. LOL

I have a 92 corner. I love the tank, but would not rebuy it.

Issues:
Limited space under tank. It is very tight and lots of wasted space)

Distorted viewing. Some area are hard to view due to the distortion. Can be hard to photograph too.

Hard to light. Is I was going to grow SPS, I would probably need 3 lights for a tank that would only take 2 in a rectanglular tank.

Hard to reach into tank. Due to being a 3’ radius, always getting wet if I have to reach the overflow.

Waterflow is hard. Seems to take extra wave makers to make sure I have ok flow.

Honestly, we are having to replace the floors where my reef is. If I could find a good buy on a 120, I’d switch in a heartbeat and make the corner freshwater. It’s a beautiful tank. Just the curve shape does not lend to efficient reefing.

I have had a couple cylindar and semi cylinder. All worked well. One unfortunetly broke while cleaning the glass. I got the "great idea" to cement sand to the bottom using stone fix. Ungortunetly I did not comprehend the expansion and retraction of the varios materials. So when I started scrubbing, the vibration and pressure caused the glass to crack.

Cylindars allow for easier circulation just using airpumps. While its does distort some, you still can get good pictures. This is my current take with an older picture. I'm in the process of waiting for and rearranging corals so its not in the best look at the moment lol.
