Anyone have a corner tank?

[Brenden]

I am going to purchase a corner or hex tank for a zoo only tank. I have been looking and I am leaning towards the corner tank. Anyone have one? Any pro's - con's

I have a friend that has a 120 gal corner hexagon. Neat looking but hard to work inside.

The 100 gallon is the one I am looking at. What is hard about it? http://www.customaquatic.com/customaquatic/subsubcategorypage.asp?subcatindexid=aq-acrylic-cr

With the bracing on the top it is a challlenge to reach inside parts. It is a 30 in deep tank and on its stand it takes a step ladder to get inside. However the sit lines are great and it would not stop me from useing it. I would use a mask and snorkle if I had too.

My last 2 tanks have been corner pentagons, the first was a 95 gal and my current is 150 gal. I had my top made with euro bracing and I have no problem reaching any where in the tank. Even with out the Euro top I have had no problems with reaching the tank. The only negative I have found is trying to get the flow to hit every spot, but with proper planning I have got it covered just like I like it. If you have any questions just let me know and I will let you know what I have learned.
